Not long afterward this was used to take a position against domestic violence that all the otehr laws didn't have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15423117.post-47036069756315556552009-07-07T10:27:55.484+03:002009-07-07T10:27:55.484+03:00Actually, that is a bit of a problem.

Israeli judges, in their professional role at least, have to uphold Israeli law, not Torah law. For example, they can't slap on an extra fine for robbery if a sheep or ox would be involved, or invalidate a sale which involved chametz during pesach since, <i>al pi halacha</i>, its ownerless.yoni r.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15423117.post-11013686391535864762009-07-04T21:50:20.751+03:002009-07-04T21:50:20.751+03:00UPDATE:

The judge also suspended the man's license for 4 years (about the worst punishment you can give to an Israeli), and sentenced him to 150 hours of community service.JoeSettlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232647820807408898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15423117.post-60327197076274513282009-07-03T05:52:39.752+03:002009-07-03T05:52:39.752+03:00Thanks for adding the details.

Minister Gilad Erdan has withdrawn his support for this judge, which means he is unlikely to be nominated.<br /><br />Erdan said he thoroughly investigated the judge and can say that the judge is definitely not racist at all - and is in fact honest and fair.<br /><br />But he disagrees with the Judges's rulings, and finds him too lenient against those who commit acts of violence in general. <br /><br />And, in the case in question, the judge wrote a 321 page summary.<br /><br />Erdan feels that this is extremely inefficient, and the lack of efficiency in the court system is one of the major problems facing the court system today.<br /><br /><br />Here is the story in more <a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/132101" rel="nofollow">detail</a>.<br /><br />And the whole story sounds weird (like I mentioned in the post)JoeSettlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232647820807408898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15423117.post-27746548949242139102009-07-01T19:18:42.031+03:002009-07-01T19:18:42.031+03:00It was in the print edition of last weekend's ...It was in the print edition of last weekend's paper (I believe it was Makor-1).
