Shaked: Women can do anything, including lead a country

Former Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked on Friday morning responded to Rabbi Shlomo Aviner’s comments that women should not offer as inhabitant leaders.

“A lady can do everything: hike, be a mother, conduct a domestic party, be a mayor, be a CEO of a company, and lead a country,” Shaked tweeted, adding, “Shabbat shalom from a Canadian Rockies.”

On Thursday, former Education Minister Naftali Bennett (New Right) slammed Rabbi Aviner’s comments, saying: “If anyone was wondering because we need a New Right – this is a answer.”

“These comments paint a little apportionment of a Religious Zionists and they means a offence of G-d’s Name. Women’s place in politics and in each area of multitude is not in doubt.”

Education Minister Rabbi Rafi Peretz, who chairs a United Right party, told Reshet Bet: “I conclude and severely honour him. Women have a place in a Jewish Home, and they have a place in open activities.”
