Haaretz: Pale orange: "'Perhaps the bridegroom wants this. It is not clear that the bride will be all that happy,' responds researcher of ultra-Orthodox society Dr. Menachem Friedman. He explains that although ultra-Orthodox hearts lean toward Gush Katif, the rabbis are not giving public permission and are not letting loose the troops."
