"I felt a deep humiliation"

"As those who trust the demands of our readers, we fulfill their wishes and do not exclude women. Precisely those who advocate the sacred principle of 'live and let live' should understand that this is the ultra-Orthodox media, and this is our way of life."

The severity of the insult caused as a result of such omission cannot be overstated. We are not ready to come to terms with this situation and we will work to change it. "A

website in the" Haredi Rooms "responded: As in most of the ultra-Orthodox press and media, we also do not upload pictures of women, as the demand of readers seeking to preserve the dignity of women.

"As part of the extensive coverage of the Western Wall issue, we reported on the visit to the President of the State, in which we blurred the images in which women appear, and we do not see any harm in that."

"As those who trust the demands of our readers, we fulfill their wishes and do not exclude women. Precisely those who advocate the sacred principle of 'live and let live' should understand that this is the ultra-Orthodox media, and this is our way of life."
