Rabbi Eliezer Melamed, the rabbi of the Har Bracha settlement and the dean of the Har Bracha yeshiva, strongly criticized gender segregation on buses in a column to be published in the B’Sheva weekly on Friday.
A number of other senior rabbis from the national-religious spectrum have also weighed in on the current nationwide debate regarding gender-segregated bus lines and the broader issue of the exclusion of women from the public domain.
