Haredi leadership opens men-only driving lessons

By

The Council for the Purity of the Camp

arranged for the men-only course to be opened in cooperation with the Transportation Ministry

"Men were losing their drivers' licenses because they could not participate in mandatory driving theory courses,"

"Women come to class dressed in next to nothing. It is a terrible stumbling block for many haredi men." Ayneh said there was no need for a special women-only course since haredi women are not supposed to drive

"Driving is inappropriate for women. Men who get behind the wheel turn into animals. They start up with women when stopped at a red light."

But in many communities here in the Holy Land, if a woman drives her husband is kicked out of the synagogue."
