Polls in Jerusalem have opened as people in the city elect local councils and a new mayor, with residents divided between those wanting to preserve Jerusalem's religious status with those calling for greater secular freedom.  Jacky Rowland reports from Jerusalem where, for the past five years, the city has been led by a mayor from the ultra-orthodox party.

It is not true that shops/cafes/restaurants in Jerusalem HAVE to be closed on Shabbat. It is out of free choice. Most of the shops do close of course out of respect for the Shabbat, or at least for commercial reasons since they would loose their religious clients if they would be open on Shabbat.

Israel is for Sephardic Jews and Palestinians not for Khazars!

Perhaps you should set the example and give up the stolen land your living on.

Yea I know those so called Jews who are really Khazars should pack up and head back to Eastern Europe and stop stealing the Palestinian and Hebrew peoples land!

They both want to "expand ILLEAGLE SETTLEMENTS" into Palestinian land and they want peace?The cost of peace will be the shedding of blood from both Jews and Palestinians :(

By the way, all constructions in Jerusalem are legal. It's thousand of Arabs live illegally in Jerusalem, they are temporary dwellers in our capital, but still - they live illegally.

Long live Jerusalem!Long live our capital!
