Saudi Arabian and Jewish ultra-Orthodox, even fight? The Israeli site "Kikar Shabat," which caters to the ultra-Orthodox Haredi community, says a prominent rabbi recently ruled against the right of Jewish women to drive motorized vehicles.

This Rabbi Amnon Yitzhak, relied on Jewish religious law, the Haredim consider above all, to support its assertion that it is indecent and immodest women to lead . "After all, what is a car? This is what has replaced the carts, or there has never been a women coachmen, "said he said during a conference last week . In his argument, the religious refers to Rabbi Shmuel Wosner, one of the most respected ultra-Orthodox community figures, indicating that it was also opposed , the conduct of women. Shmuel Wosner, now 100 years old, and which was already high in 2012 against the use of the Internet, have indicated that women who were exposed led at the sight of all the streets. This could lead to falls and driving errors other drivers. Also they can find themselves in situations of promiscuity considered immoral. Amnon Yithak however, is not the first rabbi to want ban on women driving. Avraham Yosef, son of the former spiritual leader of the Shas religious party, said there a few years ago that women should lead to in cases of extreme necessity. About the Amnon Yithak are not trivial, since the Haredim community is characterized by its reasoned rejection of "modernity" and obedience to its rabbis, unique source of power legitimate according to their beliefs.

This controversy, taken by all the Israeli press, involved in the debate in Saudi Arabia on whether to grant the right of women to drive.
