Now that JFS has been granted an appeal, it's up to Britain's newly formed Supreme Court to tackle the issue. "We are pleased with the House of Lords' decision to grant JFS leave to appeal and we will be seeking permission to intervene," Simon Hochhauser, president of the United Synagogue, said in a statement.
