Charedi radio station Kol Baramah, which was ordered to pay a court-ordered fine of 30,000 shekels to the feminist group Kolech early this morning, protested the fine by paying in 300,000 10-agorot coins.
The radio station was penalized for not giving play time to female singers.
“We loved the gimmick,” Kolech’s Facebook page says. “We didn’t really feel the insult. For some reason, we believe it was worth it to ensure that today there are wonderful women broadcasting on Kol Baramah Radio.”

Why didnt they just not pay the fine?
FYI the coins shown are 10 Shekel coins not 10 agarot.
FYI those in the picture are 10 Shekel coins not 10 Agurot coins. #fakenews
anonymous, you are correct. the picture is off by two orders of magnitude. if i were the judge, i would give them a fine of a significant amount for hutzpah
Dr yidd,
The only true chutzpah are these ‘Feminist groups trying to breach tzenius…
The feminist movement are like little kids who have a low self-esteem which is why they need play time to show off. Kol Berama should have added lollipops to their coins.
If this is the case, hope chareidim go on secular radio and say divrei Torah and sue them if they refuse.
That would be a more constructive approach IMHO.
Also, what does it mean “female singer”? One may well broadcast e.g. Maria Callas who not only is not Jewish, but has been dead long since.
The heiligeh IDF forces Chareidim to listen to kol isha all the time.
