About a month ago, she decided to hang a poster promoting breast cancer awareness at the entrance to her workplace, in a bid to try to spare other women from experiencing what she went through.
Several minutes later, she was approached by one of the Council’s senior rabbis, who demanded that she remove the poster immediately, claiming that the picture of the woman on it was immodest and would offend the public.
