Is it just me or does that photo look shopped?
it may have been a very wide lens, or they had to piece together several images due to spread out over 180 degrees...
(Like chabad Kinus picture.) Also, maybe the colored specs are the women? Or this was just the men march?

I read in the Yated as well as in other places, that nothing is really slated to take affect until 2017, and Gafni and the other MK's know that (and by then there will be new elections, and anything can happen then...). In fact, I understand that anyone can now join the workforce for the next few years even without army service, as opposed to before where you needed to have been in the army to get a good job. So its really not an issue now at all for the next few years. I understand the point of the protest and the statement they made, but just wondering if there are there any ramifications of the law right now?

The photos toward the end of this link are from VERY high up.
If they can estimate that this is only a tenth of the crowd in one city at one time, then it could very well be over 600,000:
Good photos: http://collive.com/show_news.rtx?id=29292&alias=jerusalem-closed-off-for-protest
Wow! Awesome pics! Ya it's definitely hundreds of thousands!! I guess we'll never know exactly how many ppl there were. Either way I think it was a huge kiddush hshem!!!!

+1 I read the proposal, its not such a "gezeros Shmad" the reason for the atzeres was primarily to protest the irreligious trying to control torah learning in any way. Even if the final "gezerah" is not so bad, its showing that the non religious can control how and when we learn. That why many  dati leumi rabbanim told their people to go.

rots 5 . look over the posts and tell me whose putting down any gedolei Torah. I take it very seriously when u take things out of peoples mouthes and hold it against them.
I didn't mean in anyway to make this a fight, and that people should mention shidduchim and things who r they ?

I heard that the main point was that it was a chilul Hashem that they had such a law "passed" and to counter that, we made a Kidush Hashem.

It was really very beautiful and chilled! I was there in the pic above. That was not even the big crowd, much more ppl were in front of Binyanei Hauma, gesher Hameitarim. Also Malchei Yisroel...
