I was disturbed today as I read about a young, eight year-old girl being bullied on her way to school each morning. She was being spit upon, yelled at, and shoved around by others in her neighborhood. What really got my attention was that these weren’t other kids taunting her because she was different in some fashion. These are adults treating her and others like this!
This is happening in Israel. This particular event is occurring in the city of Beit Shemesh, population of about 100,000. The young girl is walking to a Jewish religious girls’ school in her neighborhood. The adults are ultra-Orthodox Jews who call her “a whore” for dressing “immodestly.” By American standard, she is dressing very conservatively.
