When Kim Kardashian and Kanye West recently came to Israel for a brief visit, the celebrity gossip columns were all abuzz.
Somehow the visit even made the Haredi press, though of course they did not show the image of Kim Kardashian herself. Even Kikar HaShabbat website, which has recently been showing pictures of women, did not show Kardashian.
TIME magazine found it noteworthy to mention. Speaking to an editor of Kikar, TIME was told that Kardashian is a "pornographic symbol, and that contradicts the Ultra Orthodox values".
Being that that is the case, they probably should just not have mentioned her visit at all and left it for the gossip columns to discuss.
Funnily enough, they mention that her image in the picture was covered with a receipt.
they must have had to use a pretty big receipt!
Kikar should have just left out her visit entirely, and those upset should just be happy she got any mention at all.
