 The High Court of Justice on Wednesday blocked Finance Minister Avidgor Liberman’s crackdown on certain haredi (ulstra-Orthodox) subsidies until the next school year.

The justices did, however, uphold his authority to make the reform but required him to give the families more advance notice to plan for the rules and budget changes.

In November, an interim conditional order by Justices Uzi Vogelman, Ofer Grosskopf and Alex Stein told the state that it needed to explain within 14 days on what basis it had the authority to change the rules regarding subsidies for haredi child care after the school year had already started.
