High Court orders religious school to merge seperate study courses

The Supreme Court ruled that Bais Yaakov school in Emanuel must merge its two courses of study, in order to prevent the possibility of ethnic separation.

The Supreme Court announced its decision after talks the school failed to reach an agreement with an anti discriminatory foundation over predetermined acceptance conditions for each course of study. The court also instructed to fine the school NIS 10,000 (about $2,650) for each day it violates the ruling. (Aviad Glickman and Kobi Nahshoni)
