State and city ordered to complete New York yeshiva investigation


City and state education agencies have been ordered to complete an investigation into whether a Brooklyn yeshiva is providing students with a solid basic education.

A New York Supreme Court judge ruled that the departments abdicated their responsibility to investigate whether the school — Yeshiva Mesivta Arugath Habosem — offered a “substantially equivalent” education to the public school system, according to court documents .

“The court’s decision should send a clear message to the NYC DOE that it is its responsibility to conclude its investigations into non-compliant yeshivas in a timely manner,” said Naftuli Moster, executive director of Young Advocates For Fair Education, an association pro-secular. education in the yeshivas group on Wednesdays.

The case involves Beatrice Weber, a mother of 10 who left her ultra-Orthodox Jewish community but, under a family court order, had to send her child to a yeshiva in Brooklyn, the her ex-husband’s favorite school.
