... For You Were Strangers in The Land of Egypt

Israeli Bus Driver Refuses To Allow Ethiopian Jew To Board Bus "When the driver saw me he said, 'what, don’t you understand that I don't allow Kushim (derogatory term for black people) on board? Are you trying to smash my door in? Were there buses in Ethiopia? Why don't you walk? In Ethiopia you didn't even have shoes and here you do, so why don’t you walk?' I was shaking all over; I couldn't even speak," she said.


Black like me Noga Zoraish. After a legal battle lasting more than three years that ended in the conviction of yeshiva student Itamar Biton for deliberately hitting her with his car, she stood before the battalions of reporters who awaited her words and delivered her statement: "Justice has been served, the main thing is that the man who ran me over will stop lying and won't be able to be a dayan [religious court judge]." Yeshiva Student Who Intentionally Ran Over Ethiopian Jew Is Son Of Sefardi Chief Rabbi of Hadera.


Supreme Court: Haredi School Must End Discrimination School separated Ashkenazi students from Sefardi students and made Sefardim wear different uniforms … In 2007 a policy of segregation was enacted in the school, with its Sephardi minority being cordoned off from the Ashkenazi majority. Different entrances were set up for the two groups, plaster walls were erected inside the school and fences were constructed in the courtyard to separate the populations. In addition, the girls were instructed to wear different school uniforms based on their ethnicity.


Haredim Beat Chabad Rabbi In Jerusalem Security cameras captured an attack against Rav Mordechai Asher, the Rav of the Chabad Shul in the Kiryat Yovel area of Yerushalayim. It appears for some, the conflict between the chareidim and the secularists is not enough, and four Avreichim attacked the rav.


Jewish Segregation by Color or Faith:

A Biblical Warning Against Prejudice


The Bible disapproves of Prejudice:

We were told not to oppress a white man (Edomite)

nor a dark one (Egyptian).

LOVE YE THEREFORE THE STRANGER:

FOR YE WERE STRANGERS

IN THE LAND OF EGYPT [Devarim 10:17-19]
