Court rejects petition against Meron bonfire permits that were granted near-exclusively to men
The High Court of Justice has rejected an urgent petition filed by a group of Haredi women protesting the Religious Affairs Ministry’s granting of 149 of the 150 entry permits for Lag B’Omer bonfires at Mount Meron this evening to men.
The court acknowledges that the petitioners had legitimate complaints against the ministry, but unfortunately there was no legal grounds for interference.
