Justice Grosskopf of the Supreme Court set a September 15 deadline for the state's response to the petitions against the Basic Law: Torah Study, and did not issue an interim order against the law, according to reports.
This update follows an earlier report that the High Court of Justice declined to issue an interim order against the Torah Study Basic Law. Justice Grosskopf now specified that the state must file its response to the petitions by September 15. The court has not yet issued an interim order, effectively allowing the law to remain in effect pending the hearing. The petitions challenge the constitutionality of the Basic Law: Torah Study, which has faced opposition from the government legal adviser and has undergone repeated legislative revisions in recent weeks.
