Following the detention of the Supervisor of Cellular Stores, the BADATZ Eidah Charedis issued a special warning to the public.
Under the headline “Warning to parents and educators”, the Rabbanim wrote that “After the authorities arrested the supervisor of cellular stores, and extended his detention for a week, there is currently no supervision of cellular stores in Yerushalayim.”
They added that it is incumbent upon parents and educators to supervise children regarding this matter.
The judge who extended the detention said at the hearing: “On numerous occasions the defendant extorted and threatened cell phone shop owners while asking them to pay him money to get kosher. The shop owners who did not pay were allegedly attacked.”
Break this Mafia !
This is pathetic.
The phones should be under “supervision,” not the stores. There is no reason to believe that a store owner would substitute a type-B phone or account for a customer requesting type-A service.
Maybe the situation on the ground will change when the shop owners organize themselves. Learn something from the Ukrainians.
When you need a mashgiach in a cell phone store, your lost in your ways
Mi Ka’amcha Yisrael!!!
What’s wrong with that?
I think maybe the Eida could use outside supervision of what it does….
