Israel’s High Court of Justice ordered the Haifa religious council to convene within a week with the participation of Reform and Conservative representatives. The court deemed illegal Interior Minister Eli Suissa’s order to delay the meeting in order to keep non-Orthodox representatives from sitting on the council. The ruling is the latest skirmish in the ongoing battle over religious pluralism in Israel.
