The President of Israel, Shimon Peres visited Bnei Braq today. Calcalist/TheMarker newspaper reported:"I would say it only half jokingly, but if I really did have the ability, [I would say] all Jews should observe Shabbat, so that they should only work 6 days,a week as commanded by the Torah."
Peres made this statement at the IROX high tech company in Bnei Braq which employs 80 Ultra-Orthodox women.
Peres continued: "In this company, women are employed. I hope this will continue that men will be employed here as well, provided they have the appropriate work conditions for them.
Secular Jews need to accommodate the work environment for Chareidim/Ultra-Orthodox, so that there will separate environments for men and women, and that there will be break time for prayers.
Torah students have amazing minds. Many secular Jews go to exercise gyms, while the religious go to yeshiva, a spiritual gym. You teach your mind to think and deal with challenges. Many religious Jews have become scientists.
Earlier in the day, Peres visited the Ponovitch Yeshiva and spoke to students and the Roshei Yeshiva. Afterwards, he spoke to R' Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman from Bnei Braq, during which radical Chareidim threw rocks at Peres and R' Shteinman.
No injuries were reported.

If he's calling for segregation in the work place, maybe Peres will endorse segregated mehadrin buses as well?
