Supreme Court Against Mehadrin Buses


A three-member panel of Supreme Court judges issued a restraining decree against adding more bus lines to the separate-gender bus routes.

The judges - Elyakim Rubenstein, Yoram Dantziger and Salim Jubran – ruled that the Say must also create sure that on the existing “mehadrin” buses, as they are called, separate seating for men and women are not enforced. Men and women may be directed to acquire on and off the bus via separate doors, nonetheless.

The “mehadrin” lines are well in areas populated by hareidi-religious Jews, yet have caused controversy even there on occasion. Several women have informed being disgraced or even assaulted when they “dared” to sit in a spot reserved for men.

The judges acknowledged that the option of separate-seating bus lines in certain neighborhoods should be considered, where there is a demand for such.

The judges noted that the word “mehadrin,” referring to going beyond that which is required by the letter of the law, “might apply to Chanukah candles, cosher laws or an etrog, however apparently does not necessarily mean that whoever is mehader in the laws of modesty and inter-gender mingling is also mehader in the laws of respect to others.”
