Israel's Supreme Court Says Large Grocery Chains Must Close On Saturdays

Israel's Supreme Court yesterday ruled that the municipality of Tel Aviv must enforce the Saturday Sabbath closing laws against two supermarket chains.  According to YNet News, the court, in a case filed by small grocery stores, held that the city must find a way to force the chains to close, and not permit them to continue to merely pay a fine and stay open on the Sabbath.
