In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled against the city of Tel Aviv and in favor of the Berosh Yehudi organization in the Yom Kippur prayer case, saying that the organization may conduct a public Yom Kippur prayer, including separators for men and women, according to Ynet.
This ends a yearlong saga in which Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai consistently opposed efforts to establish a traditional prayer in a central public area in Tel Aviv, on the grounds that there are multiple synagogues throughout the city and that he opposes separation between people.
During the deliberation, the justices said that Tel Aviv sought to discriminate against Orthodox prayers and that "to say 'I am only against the mechitzah' is like saying 'I am only against the kipa.'"
