Muslim Sheikh al-Atrash Dancing at the Wedding of ZAKA volunteer Baraleh Yakobowitz last week in Israel
His participation at the wedding did not go without repercussions.
The story reportedly began when the man, identified only as “A,” shared the video on Facebook which had been circulating for some time on social networks, in which Sheik al-Atrash was seen dancing at the wedding of ZAKA volunteer Berale Yaakovovitch. He also gave a speech at the event in which he blessed the bride and groom on their path together.
A’s post apparently led to many negative and disparaging comments against the sheikh from across the Arab world, some of which reached the man himself. Al-Atrash turned to the traditional Bedouin religious court, the “Haq al-Arab,” and sued “A” for dishonoring him. The court slapped “A” with an NIS 1.2 million fine that's about $316K for allegedly hurting the sheikh’s honor, leaving him thunderstruck.
