The protesters on Rechov Bar Illan were treated roughly by police officers, who used crowd dispersal measures to clear the crowd.

The decision to close the Sanhedria Bais Hachaim at 8 p.m. prevents people from davening at Chacham Ovadiah’s kever, protestors said, pointing out that the kever of Rav Elazar Menachem Man Shach in Bnei Brak is open 24 hours a day.

  1. Thousands of people were delayed for at least an hour. They were late for shiurim and chavrusas. Those in taxis ended up with big bills as they were stuck in traffic. People came home late to babysitters and payed more money. All in all it was a waste.
