Court Says Israel's Religion Ministry Discriminated Against Reform Synagogues

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
Yesterday's Y Net News reports on the efforts of three Reform Jewish synagogues in Israel to get the Ministry of Religious Affairs to list them on its website of Israeli synagogues.

Shortly after the suit was filed, the Ministry took down the web site completely.
