BNEI BRAK (VINnews) — Despite the fact that the Chareidi community in Israel now has the lowest transmission rates in the entire population, individual Chareidim are still being stigmatized and suffering from discrimination and prejudices based on the misperception that Chareidim “spread disease.”
In many workplaces, Chareidim have suffered from snide and humiliating remarks such as “your sector is spreading disease” and “keep away from us.” Shlomit, a 64-year-old resident of Bnei Brak, has worked for forty years at one of the most prestigious banks in Israel but recently she has also suffered from singular treatment due to her being Chareidi.
