The High Court has allowed separate prayers to be held in Tel Aviv on Yom Kippur.

The High Court has allowed gender-separate prayers to be held in Tel Aviv during the Yom Kippur holiday, canceling the previous ban from the mayor's office. The judges indicated that the city administration can establish the order of the event and ensure the safety and organization of the space for other visitors. Mayor Ron Huldai said the municipality would allow prayer, although he criticized the court's decision.

According to the court decision, the Rosh Yehudi organization received permission to conduct prayers with the installation of a partition. They argue that separate prayers can be held in Tel Aviv because the city is part of the Jewish state. Political leaders welcomed the court's decision overturning the city government's ban.

Opposition leader Yair Lapid called on secular citizens to respect the court's decision and not stage protests to avoid unrest. MP Matan Kahana stressed the importance of community unity, even when holding separate prayers in Tel Aviv for Yom Kippur.
