Arab rights group seeks end to Passover ban on bread in hospitals
An Arab rights group says it plans to file a legal appeal protesting a ban on bringing leavened bread products into Israeli hospitals during the Passover holiday.
In a statement Thursday, Adalah-The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel says the ban forces Arab Israelis to adhere to Jewish religious law, which forbids the consumption of leavened bread during the holiday. Adalah says it is the third consecutive year that the organization has sought to overturn the ban.
