Rabbinical College Sues Pomona, NY Officials For Permission to Build College

The Congregational Rabbinical College of Tartikov has filed a suit against government officials of Pomona, New York, for refusing to allow the construction of a 30 acre Rabbinical College on the 100 acre property owned by the Congregation.  Included in the plans for the new college are "places of worship, religious educational facilities, religious courts, libraries of Jewish texts and accessory student housing."   The complaint (which can be read in full here) alleges that refusal of permission is "the direct result of fierce anti-Hasidic opposition in the local community."

The Associated Press covered the case here.
