 [IsraelTimes] Demonstrators in Tel Aviv block Ayalon freeway with sukkah after week that saw festivities between religious and secular Jews on Yom Kippur
Tens of thousands of Israelis rallied nationwide on Saturday night against the government’s judicial overhaul for the 39th week, after Yom Kippur saw the country’s religious-secular divide bitterly exposed at a public prayer service in Tel Aviv.
Demonstrations were held across approximately 150 locations throughout the country, organizers said.

Police arrested two protesters who blocked the freeway and issued fines of NIS 1,000 ($260) to seven others, Hebrew media outlets reported.
Channel 13, citing the CrowdSolutions firm, estimated that some 85,000 rallied in Tel Aviv’s Kaplan Street.

At the center of the crowd, a large sign declared, "You won’t divide us!" in an apparent reference to Yom Kippur’s divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled ...
events.
Organizers had said that this week’s protests would highlight what they called the fractious and destructive nature of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s rule.
