Four Large Ring-Binders Documenting the Struggle against Opening Cinemas on Shabbat in Petah Tikva, 1984-1987
Four large ring-binders containing several hundred documents and other paper items documenting the four-year struggle between religious and secular groups in Petah Tikva following the decision of the mayor, Dov Tavori, to allow cinemas to operate on Friday nights and Saturdays.
The binders were assembled and arranged by a religious activist and feature newspaper clippings, photos, various pamphlets, copies of various documents (such as demonstration permits by the police and a law suit presented to the High Court of Justice), and more.
Each ring-binder documents one year of the struggle allowing a wide and deep perspective of the affair.
During the struggle, police arrested the chief rabbi of Petah Tikva and issued warrants to many rabbis.
The affair marked a series of struggles between the secular public who wished to act according to their beliefs, and the religious public wishing to keep Israel's Jewish identity by prohibiting commercial activity on the Shabbat.
Very good condition.
