Solomon Comes To Judgment
HAIFA—If the court rooms of
a country afford some insight into
unusual aspects of a nation’s life,
Israel’s courts are no exception—
and add some surprises of their
own. My collection of interesting
cases which have in recent
months come before the judge in
cludes the following:
Never on Thursday. Judge
Max Cemobilsky of the Tel
Aviv District Court agreed
not to hold hearings on a
particular case on Thursday
because one of the defend
ants, Rabbi Y. Idelman of the
B’nai Brak Yeshiva, told the
court he had made a vow
some years ago not to utter
a word on that day of the
webk.
High Finance. When the Bank
of Israel provided its late-work
ing employees with lunch checks
worth one Israel Pound (28
cents) a month, the Income Tax
authorities claimed this was
added income and insisted on de
ducting income tax. Both sides
were stubborn. The case came
to court, and only the personal
intervention of David Horowitz,
Governor of the Bank of Israel,
and Zeev Sharef, Minister of Fi
nance, prevented a long drawn
out legal battle. The compromise
agreed upon: Nine oents worth
of the lunch ticket is taxable.
And the Jewish Problem.
The defendant stood before
the dock in Tel Aviv District
Court. The charge: selling
elephants ^without a per
mit. Yaazov Zamir had
been found guilty in the
Magistrate’s Court and fined
Two Pounds. He appealed,
and began to harangue the
judges, reading from a 188-

of a violent quarrel. He in
tervened, quieted them, and
finally patched up a peace
agreement. For this he was
fined IL.15 in court, because
in so doing he had pretended
to be a police officer.
Next case!
page prepared defense state
ment. The judges quickly as
certained that the charge
pertained to sale of plastic
elephants by a street vendor.
The red-faced prosecuting at
torney withdrew the mislead
ing charge, but the judges re
tained the Two Pound fine
for illegal sale of plastic
toys.
Pedestrian Bites Car. An auto
mobile proceeding along the
coastal road swerved suddenly
to avoid hitting a pedestrian
who was recklessly crossing the
• road at an illegal spot, and the
car smashed into a concrete
fense. The pedestrian, Rafael
Yitzhak of Kfar Hanagid, was
fined IL.250, or alternative of 50
days in jail.
Over-Zealous Law Enforce
ment. Mrs. Hadassah Avigdori
stopped at a crossroads to
give a lift to hitchhiking sol
diers and got a ticket. Judge
G. Giladi in Ashkelon Mag
istrate’s Court, accepted her
guilty plea, fined her IL.15,
but added: “Collecting sol
diers on the way to their base
or home is a civic duty. Pol-
licemen should use their
judgment when handing out
tickets. This is an obvious
case in which the policeman
ought to have restrained him
self.”
Without Benefit of Matchmaker.
In Tel Aviv, 31-year-old Meir
Guatta sued 24-year-old Malka
Attaya for IL.8,000 alleging
breach of promise to marry
him .... In Haifa a young man
sued his former fiancee who
had broken off their engagement.
He asked IL. 10,000 compensation
for the mental anguish and for
the thousands of pounds he had
spent on her during their court
ship .... Moshe Kalati prom
ised a dowry of IL.40,000 to Mor-
dechai Ozen if he would marry
his daughter, and paid half. The
couple married, but separated
some time after the wedding.
Ozen sued for the balance due
him. The Supreme Court ruled
that he had fulfilled his share of
the bargain—he had married the
girl, and could therefore collect
the full dowry .... A teacher
in Kiryat Tivon received a check
in the amount of one million
pounds from her Tev Aviv fi
ance to finance their wedding.
When he married someone else
she decided to cash the check.
It bounced, and the police took
over ....

Gibly, of Haifa, came across
