ARL ALPERT SPEC AL TO THE JEWISH NEWS
here is no greater
source of human inter-
est stories than the
'ourts of justice. Israel's
purts are no exception.
The Bride Had a Belly-
Ull. A 23-year-old Herzlia
)r ide sued for divorce on the
;rounds that on her wedding
mad-
light her husband fell mad-
' v in love with the belly
lancer who had been broght
.n to entertain and had been
pursuing her ever since.
3hul Business. Judge
Menahem Neeman of the
riaifa court heard the
evidence from the angry
L'itigants, all worshipers at
the Bat Galim Sephardi syn-
gogue, and ruled: "No,
aham Biton had no right
Co interrupt the chazan with
requent corrections and
criticism during the prayer
ervice, and he was ordered to
desist. At the same time, the
synagogue committee was
told it had no right to ban Mr.
iton from the services if he
.1- , ained quiet hereafter. A
sign has been posted in the
synagogue: "It is forbidden to
disturb the cantor during ser-
z_ces."
Were These the Still
Waters? Sam Ezra, a resident
of Petach Tikvah, was ar-
rested, and 22,000 bottles of
water in his possession were
impounded. They were label-
c1 "Holy Water,” and Judge
Teeman instructed that the
contents be given laboratory
checks to ascertain if they
!ame from the Jordan River
or from the local spigot.
Strictly Judicial Judge-
ment, Of Course. Attorney
I Moshe Meroz represented a
young client being tried on
rlrug charges before Judge
v ictoria Ostrowsky. He plead-
ed that the young man be
released, both on the grounds
of the lack of evidence, and
because he, Mr. Meroz, had
thus far had a good statistical
record before this judge. The
defendant was acquitted.
A Discriminating Burg-
lar. The judge in the Haifa
court heard the evidence:
Shmuel Hamu threw a stone
through a plate glass window
of a local bank, entered and
,helped himself to — 40 packs
of his favorite cigarette which
he found in one of the cup-
boards and then left. No, he
was not a bank robber. He
just had an uncontrollable
impulse. The judge gave him
'v
-
„
r
a four-month suspended
sentence and urged that he
control himself hereafter.
Their Marriage Went Up
in Smoke. A 40-year-old hus-
band from Ness Ziona asked
the rabbinical court in
Rehovot to grant him a
divorce because, in violation
of a written promise his wife
had given him to refrain from
smoking, she had returned to
the noxious weed.
Getting to the Heart of
the Matter. Six judges of the
Tel Aviv Municipal Court fil-
ed suit in the Jerusalem
Labor Court against Israel's
National Insurance, Bituach
Leumi, demanding that the
heart attacks which they had
all suffered be recognized as
ailments incurred as a rsult of
their work and hence qualify-
ing them for appropriate
compensation.
Keep Him Out, and Them
Too. The District Court in Tel
Aviv heard a request from a
woman that her husband be
barred from entering her
home, at least for a few
months, on the grounds that
he was resorting to unusual
tactics to compel her to agree
to a divorce. Lately he had
begun bringing mice into the
house, knowing how much
this would disturb her.
A Matter of Penmanship.
A three-judge bench in the
Beersheba District Court
voided a judgment against
Chaim Rachamim, who had
been found guilty of traffic
violations. The grounds: the
minutes of the trial, as record-
ed by hand by the judge, were
written in an almost illegible
handwriting.
A Minor Difference. The
newspaper Haaretz published
a correction of its previous
report of a libel case. The
passage in the press report
should have read, "The fun-
damental rulings of Judge
Maltz, and not "the criminal
demands of the judge."
Citing Authority. When
the Israel Labor Party
brought suit for libel against
Professor Amnon Rubenstein,
the court refused to hear the
case on the grounds that it
was a political matter. The
Labor Party attorney cited
from a learned book of law to
show that the court did have
competence in the matter.
The book: Constitutional Law
in Israel by Professor Amnon
Rubenstein. ❑
