A group of haredim who marked Holocaust Remembrance Day by having a barbecue party in Jerusalem’s Gan Sacher aroused anger and opposition from several quarters on Monday.
According to
Yediot Ahronot, approximately 200 haredi youths held a barbecue on Sunday night at the same as the Yad Vashem memorial service was taking place, though Yotam Barzani, a news editor for Israel Radio disputed the figures. On his Facebook page he stated that he arrived at the park at 11:05 p.m. and found only 35 people making barbecues.
