Israel Supreme Court Rules on Yom Kippur Prayer
News summary

Israel's Supreme Court has ruled that Tel Aviv must allow gender-separated Yom Kippur prayers, criticizing the municipality for discrimination against Orthodox worshippers. The court's decision mandates the organization Rosh Yehudi to hold the service in Meir Garden with partitions, despite the city's previous prohibition of such practices in public spaces. Justices expressed frustration over Tel Aviv's refusal to accommodate Orthodox prayers while permitting non-Orthodox services. The ruling followed a contentious legal battle, where the municipality rejected a compromise suggested by the court. Rosh Yehudi welcomed the decision, emphasizing that Judaism must be respected in public life. The ruling may reignite tensions, as past gender-segregated services in public areas have provoked protests and clashes.
