The Tel Aviv District Court rejects Rosh Yehudi’s appeal against Tel Aviv’s decision to revoke its permits to public Sukkot events in the city, after an arbitration hearing between the Orthodox group and municipality failed to yield a compromise.

Rosh Yehudi vows to file an appeal tomorrow with the Supreme Court.

“Just like the municipality, public order is also important to us and this is not a reason for cancelling hakafot,” the organization says in a statement, referring to a celebration held immediately following Simchat Torah to show solidarity with Diaspora Jews.
