Activists are preparing to open a coffee truck on Shabbat beside a Jerusalem cafe that backed down after protests by Haredi groups.

The organizers say volunteers will run the cart next to the cafe. They describe the move as a response to religious coercion and say it will allow Jerusalemites to continue drinking coffee on Shabbat.

The planned truck is intended to challenge the decision at the site itself, turning the cafe’s concession into a new point of protest.
