Sephardi Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar notified Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar on Monday morning that, according to Halacha, he cannot approve the ministry's request that some 100 students of Ethiopian origin will attend classes in secular schools and receive extra Judaism classes.
The education ministry said that it will find a solution that will enable the immigrant children, who have been refused admission into three semi-private religious Petah Tikva schools, to begin the school year normally.
The Knesset Education Committee will hold a special hearing on the matter on Monday afternoon.
