The Supreme Court today cancelled the automatic property tax exemptions granted to large families and full-time married students of Torah. In so deciding, the court accepted the petition of the \"Am Chofshi\" (\"Free Nation\") organization. In its decision, the court stated that the protocol set years ago by former Interior Minister Aryeh De\'ri was illegal. Justice Mishael Cheshin explained that if the exemptions were to be upheld, a wealthy family with ten children would be exempt from taxes, while a poor childless couple \"having a hard time making ends meet\" would not be exempt from the taxes.
