N

religious faction in the Tel Aviv
City Council, said most of the
ba'alei teshuva are in their 30s.
"They've tried Western culture,
and found it was empty," he
said.
As evidence, in south Tel Aviv
walls and bulletin boards on the
main streets are lined with
posters calling for Shabbat ob-
servance, modesty in dress, and
advertisements for revival meet-
ings, faith healers and miracu-
lous amulets.
"A Jewish woman who bares
her midriff shames the Jewish
people! Look what animal be-
havior we've come to!" reads a
popular one.
"Did you know that God
blesses the income of the Jew
who keeps Shabbat?" reads an-
other favorite.
Still another poster tells of a
Chanukah revival where Rabbi
Avraham Chai — "a great tzad-
dik" — will bring along his "pre-
cious oil" that makes barren
women fertile, finds spouses for
the lovelorn, and raises the
earnings of the economically dis-
tressed.
In such an atmosphere, the
campaign for Shabbat in Tel
Aviv has a large potential fol-
lowing. Mr. Yekutiel says reli-
gious activists are drawing up
plans for a mass boycott of busi-
nesses that stay open on Shab-
bat. "There was a gas station
near here that used to be open
on Shabbat, but public pressure
forced him to close," he said.
Mr. Gerlitzky says he just
sent off letters to the owners of
hundreds of Tel Aviv restau-
rants, movie theaters, candy
stores and other establishments
that open on Shabbat, remind-
ing them of the late Lubavitch-
er Rebbe's decree that money
made on that day "is not
blessed."
Mr. Gerlitzky notes that
dozens of the owners wrote back
saying they would love to close
on Shabbat, but stay open be-
cause they need the money.
Chabad intends to put up
posters and distribute brochures
in various Tel Aviv neighbor-
hoods, listing local businesses
that close on Shabbat, and urg-
ing residents to patronize only
them, he says.
Mr. Yitzhari does not go along
with the idea of a boycott. "The
religious public has to realize
that nothing good can be ac-
complished through coercion,"
he said, adding that the best
way to steer Tel Aviv toward
Shabbat observance was to keep
proselytizing and thereby in-
crease the city's religious popu-
lation. "In the long run, the
pressure will come from the bot-
tom up."
Tel Aviv thought it was a de-
militarized zone in Israel's cul-
ture war, but it may soon
become a new front. ❑
