The Tel Aviv Administrative Court on Wednesday rejected the petition of the Jewish Head organization, choosing not to go against the Tel Aviv municipality and not to approve the second laps in the city.

Justice Magen Altuvia's decision stated: "When it comes to a private event in a public area in which a person has no vested right, when there are many alternatives to events throughout the city, both in synagogues throughout the city, including the synagogue of the Jewish Head community, it cannot be said that the cancellation decision is unreasonable or illegal or that it harms the Petitioners in an exceptional or disproportionate manner or any of their basic rights."

The chairman of Bayit Yehudi came to the discussion earlier after the Tel Aviv municipality banned the organization from holding events in the public space on Sukkot and holding second laps on Simchat Torah in Dizengoff Square due to the Yom Kippur storm. The Jewish Head Association said: "If the court does not allow the construction of the sukkah and the circumnavigation, we will turn to the Supreme Court."
