Since donning the burka, the woman said she had been taunted by neighbours who called her a “smelly Arab” and that Israeli soldiers had asked to see her identification papers to prove she was not a Muslim. They backed down, she said, when she showed them that her children were clearly Jewish.

The trend has also caused tensions in family life. One man went to a rabbinical court in an attempt to get a ruling to force his wife to stop wearing the burka.

The plan backfired, however. The court ruled that that woman’s behaviour was so “extreme” that it ordered the couple to undergo an immediate religious divorce.

    This is what the Talmud does to Jews by religion. They put it above the Torah, and the latter says not to add to or take away from the Word.

      Judaism isn’t a biblical religion. it is extremely different than whatever religion they had in cnaan. It is rabbinical Judaism, it’s the rules that rabbis made over centuries of diaspora.
