Have you ever wondered why a picture of Scout Grant appears everywhere in the last day?
Well, here's a summary of recent events for those who have not been to the planet: Grant became the hottest name in Israel overnight, when her picture in a head covering at a "thirst" event at the nation's buildings went up on the "talk" page and won first place on the network, with leading articles on all news sites in Israel .

Grant for her part did not state that she would go from now on, as a married woman, with a head covering.
She totally honored the show with the religious character she came to, and the religious public that came to the venue.
Recall that this is not the first time the network has been stormed by a picture of Grant wearing a headdress.
The day after the two's wedding, an old photo surfaced on the net that was shared in many groups on WhatsApp and went up for discussion on Facebook.
In "Israel Today" we also wrote about the great perplexity of the people in the face of the picture, and we understood that this was a picture that went up on Twitter while Grant's program was filmed on Network 13 at the entrance to the Temple Mount.
Grant, just like in the event of "Thirst" and long before she got married, decided to wear a handkerchief in an act of respect for the place and the people photographed in the article.

One word that says a lot: religion
It is no secret that the religious-secular issue can ignite heated debates when there are people on both sides of the barricade.
We are not really a people of one human tissue as Sarah Alberstein sang, but we have many layers in us.
This is reflected in the issue of "religion" versus "deepening Judaism", closing shops on Saturday versus "freedom of the individual" and the first prime minister in Israel to wear a kippah, which should be rotated with Tommy Lapid's son, just so there is no decision here.
One of the most explosive issues in Israel.

It was therefore no surprise that in the thousands of reactions to Scout Grant's picture in a head covering there were opinions that showed exactly this human mosaic.
On the one hand it says "how beautiful you are to be modest", "probably after quite a few years she decided that this is what makes her good", "congratulations on the right path" or "love wins, I wish all the girls of Israel will learn modesty".
Compared to completely opposite reactions: "It is so likely that it will happen, the main thing is that she will be good on the inside and not do it voluntarily", or more extreme reactions that read: "The stupidity that people are willing to go through for love", "If he adapted himself to it it would be more "Exciting, but we will not see that."
Mixed relationship
A sugary and sugary relationship.

Even in 2021 we are not used to seeing religious and secular couples, nor do we get a part of the throat that the religious and secular world meet. Whether it's Libby Nachimovsky known as "Libeland", a Chabadnik and mother of six who is considered an Instagram anchor that fits in well with the glittering launches in Tel Aviv, or whether it is celebrities who have repented. Linor Abergil until the change of Eden and Oded Menashe.
The relationship between the actress Alona Saar and the ultra-Orthodox King Zilberschlag struck many with astonishment at the "spoiled matchmaking" of the two.
Corinne Gideon, who represents the heart of Tel Aviv's secular mainstream, also proudly introduced her husband Hili, who grew up in an ultra-Orthodox home, and received quite a few unflattering comments about it.
Gideon was strong enough to successfully present the transition between the worlds, between her secular world and her husband's world.
When Hili's ultra-Orthodox parents come to them, their son honors them with a dome, and Corinne honors them in modest attire, and look what a beauty - the world does not collapse into itself.

It's time for Shuli Rand and Scout Grant to stop being the hottest issue just because he's ultra-Orthodox and she's secular, it's time we did not treat such couples as exceptions, but as part of the landscape.
A scout can wear a head covering one day a week, and walk around in a tank top the next day - it's her right, and it's every person's right.
We must not follow only the existing lines in the company as we have known them to this day.
It's time we stopped putting people into patterns that suit us, and realize that there are not just black and white, there are many shades, and together they create a much more special and tolerant world.
Were we wrong?
