Tiveria residents on Wednesday evening held a rally in support of businesses that are Shomer Shabbos after Mayor Ron Kobi a day earlier came to the boardwalk and compelled a Shomer Shabbos store owner to remove a sign stating ‘Shomer Shabbos’, insisting the sign is illegal.

Hundreds of residents took part in the support rally as activist Shimon Cohen opened a table with Shabbos foods on the boardwalk, with the participants singing Shabbos zemiros.

During the event, Mayor Ron Kobi arrived with his aide Leor, and hundreds approached him while continuing to sing zemiros along with “Kobi go home”. Police were present in sufficient number to maintain order.
