A Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court has ordered the "Bnei Yisrael" yeshiva, an educational institution for children located in Bnei Brak, to cease operations by April 2027. The ruling stems from the institution's construction on land designated as open public space, a use that violates the land's zoning. The Authority for Enforcement and Land Registration, represented by the State Attorney's Office, approached the court after the unauthorized use persisted. The court granted the request for a cessation order, stipulating a deadline of April 2027 to allow the institution time to find an alternative location. Additionally, the institution must present a structural engineer's approval confirming the building's safety by a specified date, as a condition for continued operation until the order takes effect. The Authority stated this action is part of a broader campaign against illegal uses of open public spaces in Bnei Brak, which includes scrutiny of other educational facilities and kindergartens operating on such land.
