A peace agreement between members of the Gur Hasidic community and the community led by Rabbi Shaul Alter was signed on Erev Rosh Hashanah, according to Israeli Haredi media. The Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court approved the agreement, which settled a civil lawsuit stemming from violent incidents and property damage in 2022. Gur-affiliated defendants expressed regret and agreed to refrain from similar conduct, while the plaintiffs agreed to waive their financial claims. Attorney Shlomo Alboim said in a letter following the agreement that harassment had declined dramatically in recent years and expressed hope the settlement would open a new chapter between the two sides.
