Brussels - In yet another chapter of the bizarre saga
involving the children of Moshe Aryeh Friedman, a Belgian court has ruled in
favor of the controversial figure who has spent months trying to force Charedi
schools to accept his children.
According to reports on Dutch news site Joods Actueel, while
Rabbi Friedman and his wife are not permitted to enter any of the school
buildings, the Friedman children can attend the Charedi school of their choice.
Rabbi Friedman had previously sued both a Belgian girls’
elementary school for the right to enroll his sons as students and a Belgian
boys’ school, in an attempt to force the yeshiva to accept his three
daughers. While a judge in Antwerp had
originally ruled in favor of Friedman in his case against the girls’ school,
that decision was reversed one month later and Friedman also lost his case
against the boys’ school.
The ruling specifically states that the Yesode Hatora
school, the oldest Jewish school in Antwerp with the largest student
enrollment, cannot turn away the Friedman children. Yesode Hatora encompasses both a boys’ school
as well as the Beth Jacob school for girls.
