Israel's seniors have been waiting for years for recognition by the
High Court of Justice. While other sectors of the population have been
recognized by the High Court for their unique situations, seniors have been
left behind. A courageous attempt to rectify the situation was made two
years ago by retirees' groups and human rights groups. These groups, led by
members of the law clinic at the Tel Aviv University faculty of law, have
appealed to the High Court against cuts in elderly welfare benefits, and the
dwindling value of those payments due to inflation.




A few days before Rosh Hashanah, and more than two years after the
original appeal was presented, the High Court unanimously rejected the
petition. In the spirit of its previous judgment regarding social welfare,
the High Court decided that cuts in monthly benefits to the elderly did not,
in themselves, represent an injury to the social welfare rights of seniors.
The right to social welfare in Israel is limited to the "preservation of a
minimal existence with honor."

Markus 7:
v8 I har tilsidesat Guds bud og overholder kun menneskers
overlevering.« v9 Og han sagde til dem: »Hvor kønt! I forkaster Guds bud
for at indføre jeres egen overlevering. v10 Moses har jo sagt: >Ær din far
og din mor!< og: >Den, der forbander sin far eller sin mor, skal lide
døden.< v11 Men I siger: Hvis et menneske siger til sin far eller sin mor:
Det, du skulle have haft som hjælp af mig, skal være korban - det vil sige
tempelgave - v12 så tillader I ikke længere, at han gør noget for sin far
eller sin mor. v13 I sætter Guds ord ud af kraft med jeres egen
overlevering. Og meget andet af den slags gør I.«
