Adv. Buky Katzman from our firm, who is also an experienced arbitrator and mediator, shares his perspective in an opinion piece about the recent decision by “Rosh Yehudi” to forgo holding a public prayer on the eve of Yom Kippur, despite a ruling by the Israeli Supreme Court allowing it.

Katzman points out that this decision is even more significant than the legal ruling itself. In this unique case, the party that won the legal battle chose not to act on the court’s decision. Instead, driven by national considerations and a desire to reduce division and prevent further animosity, they decided to forgo the relief they had sought.
