Satmar Chaisidim go to the movie theatre
A secular theatre in Jerusalem will be converted to housing units for members of the ultra-orthodox Satmar sect, which ideologically is against the existent of the State of Israel before the redemption. Sixty housing units will be built on the site of the Edison Theatre, which has been vacant for 20 years.
A Satmar member from the United States paid $5 million for the building two years ago. Construction is planned to begin next summer.

Oy! The end of an era! The Edison should have been granted Landmark status and turned into a museum of Hafganot.
