The Tel Aviv Municipality has introduced new contracts for over one hundred synagogues, requiring them to offer religious services to all residents regardless of age, gender, or belief. Synagogues that refuse to sign face eviction, sparking fierce opposition from religious leaders who argue that the conditions undermine Jewish tradition and Orthodox practices. Many of these synagogues were established decades ago on municipal land, and the new agreements are seen as an attempt to regulate their status with controversial stipulations. Legal battles have already begun, with some synagogues seeking protection through religious endowment status and others facing eviction proceedings. The municipality insists the move is meant to prevent discrimination, but synagogue leaders warn it could fundamentally alter the religious character of their institutions.
