Jerusalem's Basimta Cafe may decide to close on Shabbat amid weekly haredi protests
The demonstrations against the cafe began following a revelation that the the eatery is an official Jews for Jesus project, a movement seen as controversial amongst mainstream Judaism.
Jerusalem's Basimta Cafe is considering closing on Saturdays due to ongoing weekly Haredi protests against its Shabbat operations. The demonstrations, which have occurred for over six weeks, began after it was revealed the cafe is a "Jews for Jesus" project, a group controversial within mainstream Judaism. Protests have included violence, such as overturning tables and vandalism, and barricading the entrance. In response, secular Israelis have held counter-protests. Several politicians have participated on both sides of the demonstrations.
