Court Backs Jerusalem Mayor's Decision to Set Up Chareidi Kindergartens in Ramat Eshkol

By Betzalel Kahn

The battle waged by Jerusalem Mayor Rabbi Uri Lupoliansky to allow the city to set up chareidi kindergartens in Ramat Eshkol has finally reached a conclusion. In response to a petition filed by a small group of residents opposing the Mayor's decision, this week District Court Judge Yehudit Tzur announced she does not see any flaw in the decision to set up the Eitz Hadaas kindergarten in the neighborhood and advised the petitioners to retract their petition.

The Mayor's proposal entailed bringing in two prefab structures to house kindergarten classrooms for chareidi children on Rechov Nachlieli in Ramat Eshkol in light of demographic changes in the neighborhood, which is now mostly chareidi. Although none of the neighborhood's kindergarten students are enrolled at government schools this year, a portion of the 170 chareidi kindergarten students have to study in rented apartments.
