Episode description
A lawsuit has been filed by New York Yeshivas, led by attorney Avi Schick, against the NYS education department. The yeshivas are asking the courts to overturn the crushing equivalency restrictions.
They have 3 main arguments:
1. Religious discrimination
2. The state is overreaching its authority
3. Violation of the review process (the state received 300K comments opposing the rules, yet failed to respond or change the guidelines)
Listen to Yaakov M's full analysis--can the yeshivas successfully overturn the guidelines in court?
