The High Court of Justice is scheduled to hold a hearing Tuesday on a petition filed by the Association of Merchants and Independents and the Tel Aviv-Jaffa Municipality against Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, demanding that supermarkets be allowed to open on the Sabbath in the city.
About a month ago, former court vice president Elyakim Rubinstein ruled that the court would reconsider the matter after allowing markets in Tel Aviv to operate on the Sabbath.
