Shas city council member Babayouf tells ‘Post’ he asked Mayor Huldai to make move in order to avoid offending city’s religious residents.
The Tel Aviv Municipality will not operate its bicycle rental service on Yom Kippur, following a request made to Mayor Ron Huldai by a religious member of the city council.
Shas faction member Beni Babayouf told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday that he petitioned Huldai last week and asked him not to operate the system on Yom Kippur so as to avoid offending the city’s religious residents.
“Tel Aviv is a mixed city with both secular and religious people who both respect and honor one another. The mayor understands this very well and made the decision to respect this,” Babayouf said.”Yom Kippur is one of the most important days to all of the Jewish people and it is forbidden to harm it.”
In a statement issued this week, the municipality made no mention of Babayouf’s request.

[gitmonation] Teenagers to join Tel Aviv municipal inspectors, with limited authority
Teenagers to join Tel Aviv municipal inspectors, with limited authority
Tenth-grade junior staffers to be city’s ‘watchful eye’ in pilot program; will patrol streets of Tel Aviv wearing special uniforms, sometimes on their own, sometimes partnering up with municipal inspectors
By Ilan Lior
They won’t issue parking tickets, or fines over noise, dirt or other nuisances. Dozens of teenagers are about to join the ranks of Tel Aviv’s municipal inspectors, but without the enforcement authority of their more senior colleagues. It’s all part of the city’s vision of recruiting 10th-graders to its inspection division.
The teens taking part in the pilot program, associated with the “Personal Responsibility” program, will patrol the mean streets of Tel Aviv wearing special uniforms, sometimes on their own and sometimes partnering up with full-fledged municipal inspectors. Some of the program’s legal and safety wrinkles are still being ironed out, but city officials say efforts will be made to give the plebes a wide berth from potentially explosive situations.

Around a dozen people were arrested during a violent confrontation with police at the Levinsky park tent city in south Tel Aviv on Monday.
The fracas erupted after municipality clerks escorted by two police officers arrived at the tent city in the late afternoon to dismantle the site’s pirated electricity hook-up. While there are conflicting narratives between the tent city residents and the police and municipality workers, what is clear is that a clash started and police ended up arresting 12 people at the scene.
