"Mea She'arim to ban women from certain Jerusalem streets during Sukkot

Large billboards posted throughout capital's ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods this week forbade women during the celebration, despite court order."

Yenta's Comment: There seems to be a competitive boomerang effect between Mea She'arim and Williamsburg that when one takes action against women being publically visible, the other reacts with one-up-"man's"-ship.
