The Tel Aviv District Court ruled in a prolonged lawsuit by the Lemaan Achai against the Modiin municipality. The court rejected the school’s claim that it is entitled to a land allocation, but instructed the municipality to find space for the independent school under haredi auspices and to lease it to the school at a reasonable rate, and to otherwise provide the conditions that it would need to continue operating. The court also instructed the city to pay the school 25,000 NIS in legal fees.
The verdict comes in the midst of a major overhaul within the school, which includes its probably joining the Shas school network, “Ha-Ma’ayan ha-Hinukh ha-Torani”.
In practice, the City doesn’t have to do anyhting for lemaan achai other than “help” it find a reaosnable place….It is basically a slap on the wrist but nothing will change….
