Several secular coworkers view Revah as a harmless curiosity. Others are very angry over what they see as missionary activity in a public workplace.
"The Broadcasting Authority is a public body and there is nothing wrong with it housing a synagogue on the premises," Shklar said. "Bringing a Torah scroll to the authority is a welcome move, because a synagogue without a Torah scroll is not a synagogue."
A former Broadcasting Authority senior executive thinks otherwise. "It's a scandal. It's forbidden to bring worshipers into a broadcasting facility, especially near the news department. It will start with prayers on the High Holy days, continue on regular Saturdays and then there will be a suit filed to stop broadcasting on Saturdays because it disrupts the service. So long as people sought a prayer corner in the workplace it was okay. Now they're starting to say they will pray in the Nakdi studio. Because the whole residential area around the authority is religious, who knows how it will end."
