a spring. indeed, the use 20 cramer in jerusalem, tanya, tell us more about this landmark really as well. i think it's, it's unique and now for many different reasons. it is, it has been your years of political and legal battle. and now the high court of justice has made the decisions on 9 judges where for they made an actually decisions not just a temporary arrangement, but the scene in the past years. and they have basically said that the policy of allow orthodoxy, shiva students of not, uh, being drafted to the armies actually illegal discrimination and that should not be allowed. they also said that she was that would, that these are religious schools should not receive cousin government funding, if uh the students are not in listening. so this is an extra ruling that we are
