Cardozo Society CLE

This CLE is titled Jewish Practices Spark Homeowner Lawsuits. The Jewish home is the center of Jewish religious practice, but simple acts such as mounting a mezuzah or an eruv marker can lead to a dispute with a city or homeowners association involving issues of housing law and even constitutional law. These problems most recently came to a head in Bloch v. Frischholz, 533 F.3d 562 (7th. Cir. 2008) and Tenafly Eruv Association, Inc. v. Borough of Tenafly, 309 F.3d 144 (3d Cir. 2002). In this one-hour session, we discuss these cases, and explore strategies for defusing similar conflicts.
