Bnei Brak rabbis: Renting apartments to African refugees is forbidden
None
Six leading rabbis in the haredi city of Bnei Brak published a halachic law forbidding residents to rent out apartments to African immigrants.
"It is not only a general nuisance but leads to more serious problems. Families have already appealed to us over fears they have for their children", stated the law which included a clear warning: "Those who rent out the apartments (to the immigrants) take responsibility for spiritual consequences on their heads be it". (Yoav Zitun)
