THE JEWISH NEWS
Jerusalem (JTA) — Dressed in
pants and blouses, two dozen
women attempted to enter a su-
permarket here that limits entry
to "modestly dressed" female cus-
tomers.
The store, which is owned by
the giant Supersol supermarket
chain, served all customers until
April, when it decided to cater to
shoppers from the Orthodox com-
munity.
The demonstrators, represen-
tatives of a half-dozen organiza-
tions devoted to equality and
women's rights, were denied en-
trance to the market on the
grounds that they had not ad-
hered to the store's strict dress
code of knee-length skirts and el-
bow-length shirts.
According to the store's policy,
women wearing shorts or
miniskirts must don wraps if they
want to enter the market, which
is located in an industrial zone on
the border of both religious and
non-religious neighborhoods.
The demonstration came at a
time of increased friction in Israel
between religious and secular
groups. Each side believes that
the stakes involve nothing less
than the future character of the
Jewish state.
Stopped by a guard at the en-
trance, the protesters stood out-
side the store with placards that
read "Don't Sell Out Women's
Rights" and "How About the
Women's Status Quo?"
They also displayed a petition
with hundreds of signatures from
customers vowing to boycott Su-
persol stores until the dress-code
is revoked.
Although most of the shoppers
simply stared at the demonstra-
tors in curiosity, one man shout-
ed, "You are anti-Semites. You
are not Jews."
Another shopper, who declined
to give her name, told the pro-
testers, "If you were walking into
a mosque, you would be required
to take off your shoes. These are
the rules here, and you have to
abide by them."
Oman Yekutieli, head of the
secularist Meretz faction in the
Jerusalem City Council and the
only male demonstrator, said, "It
is unacceptable for the largest su-
permarket chain in Israel to bar
segments of the public from a
store in the middle of a busy in-
dustrial zone. It's like being in
Tehran."
The store's policy, Mr. Yeku-
tieli said, "is another step away
from the Western 20th century
toward a fundamentalist society."
Leslie Sachs, director of the Is-
rael Women's Network, admitted
that the market "is a private
place and can do what it wants."
However, she added, "we are
still trying to tackle the problem
through a consumer law that
says governmentally price-con-
trolled items like bread, milk and
cheese must be available to all."
After the demonstration,
which ended without incident,
store manager Reuven Cohen
said the supermarket's policy was
out of his hands.
"We are designed to give ser-
vice to the ultra-religious com-
munity, but we are nevertheless
happy to serve anyone who comes
into the store," he said.
"However, because of the sen-
sitivity of women's dress in the
religious community, we simply
request women to put on a skirt."
Asked what would happen if a
woman did not honor this re-
quest, Mr. Cohen at first hesi-
tated.
Pressed for an answer, he
replied, "She will be denied en-
Delicatessen
Gets Warning
Montreal (JTA) — A Montreal
Jewish restaurant has become
the latest target of Quebec's of-
ficial language watchdog.
Schwartz's Hebrew Deli-
catessen, founded in 1931, is best
known for its smoked meat, a
type of pastrami that is smoked,
aged and served hot and juicy on
rye bread with mustard.
The eatery is so popular that
last April Quebec Premier Lucien
Bouchard, an avowed separatist,
had his picture taken by the me-
dia while eating a Schwartz's
smoked meat sandwich.
Now the landmark eatery has
been cited for violating Quebec's
law governing language use.
The restaurant recently re-
ceived a letter from the Quebec
government's French Language
Office asking it to reduce the size
of the English letters on the bilin-
gual signs posted inside the
restaurant.
Under the law, English is per-
mitted on public signs, but only
if the lettering is one-third the
size of the French letters.
Schwartz's manager, Johnny
Haim, was planning to change
the signs immediately, even
though it would cost more than
$1,000 to do so.
But after receiving hundreds
of phone calls and visits from con-
cerned customers who were op-
posed to the move, Mr. Haim may
have changed his mind.
Mr. Haim said in an interview
he was under orders of the own-
ers of the restaurant to "keep my
mouth shut" and would only say
"I don't know" when asked if he
planned on changing the signs.
Meanwhile, other shopkeepers
on the popular St. Lawrence
Street were planning to help
Haim raise funds should he
choose to contest the language of-
fice's warninff in the courts.
