Boo hoo! Neturei Karta loses funding from 'Palestinian Authority'

The daughter of the 'Palestinian Authority's 'Minister of Jewish Affairs' was married last week in Jerusalem. The wedding was held in a private home at 7:00 am rather than in a banquet hall. Apparently, the 'Palestinian Authority' is no longer funding Neturei Karta.

As proof of their strong stand against the State of Israel's existence, they made sure to mention in the invitations that the event would be held at "the holy city of Jerusalem, Palestine." Accordingly, the time of the wedding ceremony was mentioned in Central European Time.

Ahead of the wedding day, the family learned that the wedding had sparked a great deal of interest in the haredi sector, especially in light of the fact that the bride observes strict modesty rules. Therefore, it was decided to move up the wedding ceremony from 2 pm to 7 am, and hold it in a private house outside the neighborhood.

The modest bride wore a white dress covered with a black coat. According to one of Hirsch's neighbors, before they decided to marry her husband looked at her just once during a conversation which last several minutes.

"I'm sure it was enough, as she's a beautiful girl," he noted.

The joyous occasion was celebrated in the evening, in a modest meal at the home of the bride's parents. The guests were greeted by a Palestinian flag decorated with the word "Welcome" in Arabic and English.

Not even in Yiddish?
