Absence of Self-Awareness Alert

Seven Israeli Bes Yaakov girls were punished this week for daring to stand up during the Yom Hashoa moment of silence. The reason? A moment of silence is "goyish" not Jewish, and those who observe it are embracing a foreign custom.

Sigh.

And, I suppose that once upon a time bes yaakov girls were expelled from school for wearing masks on Purim.
