Hundreds of Chareidi protesters convened at the Carta Parking lot on Shabbos, to protest the site opening for business today. As in past weeks, no acceptable compromise has been reached regarding the blatant chillul Shabbos, and Chareidi residents of Jerusalem blocked the street with their bodies, refusing to allow cars to enter the lot. Police arrested 10 of the protesters, on the grounds that they were disturbing the peace and preventing the flow of traffic.b
