State court protects school’s freedom to direct its religious mission.
A court in New Jersey has issued a ruling protecting the freedom of an Orthodox Jewish school to choose who will carry out its religious mission.
“Judges have no business picking Jewish rabbis or Orthodox priests,” explained Laura Wolk Slavis, a counsel at Becket, which filed a brief in the fight.
“The court’s ruling reinforces that common-sense principle, allowing Rosenbaum Yeshiva to choose who passes on its Jewish beliefs to the next generation.”
The dispute involved Rosenbaum Yeshiva of North Jersey and ended up before the state Supreme Court.
