- The Supreme Court mandated an August 12, 2027, eviction deadline for a Ponevezh Yeshiva faction.
- The faction must pay 2.5 million shekels by December 13 and monthly fees.
- The ruling prohibits the faction from using the Ponevezh Yeshiva name and logo.
- A 50/50 division of the yeshiva hall seating is now enforced.
- Justice Ofer Groskopf issued the interim ruling on the stay of execution.
The Ponevezh Yeshiva legal dispute has reached a new stage as Supreme Court Justice Ofer Groskopf partially accepted a request for a stay of execution. This continuation of occupancy is contingent on several strict conditions. Justice Groskopf also mandated mutual quiet and the prevention of violence, warning that any violation, including acts of violence or provocation, would allow the opposing faction, led by Rabbi A. Kahaneman, to seek an earlier eviction.
Financially, the court overturned 75% of the monetary relief previously awarded in arbitration. Additionally, they must pay 270,000 shekels monthly for the use and maintenance of the complex. Furthermore, the court ordered a strict 50/50 division of the yeshiva's main hall, ensuring that the 300 seats allocated to each side will be shared equally, even on Saturdays and holidays.
This decision is an interim, binding ruling on the stay of execution request, reached following agreements between the parties. The full legal proceedings and final decision on the arbitration award appeal will be held separately.
