Summary
Shabbat breaking and the presence of Christian pilgrims in Jerusalem catalysed demonstrations by young haredim during the summer. The Mandelbaum Gate in Jerusalem, the crossing point between Jordan and Israel, was the site of protests against Baptists who were embarking on a tour of the holy places on the Shabbat. Anger was first directed against the bus drivers who were thought to be Jewish, but were not – and then against the owners of the buses, the Hamkasher cooperative. Amidst fighting between the protesters and the police, vehicles were damaged. Hamkasher responded by suspending all services for three days to the ultra-orthodox Mea Shearim district of Jerusalem.
