The parents, who take orders from the Slonim rabbi, refused and so he has left the matter with the high court.RELATED:Reality Check: Netanyahu’s weakness, our dimeCourt to rule on Emmanuel momsThe high court is due to decide on Tuesday on whether the mothers' of the children should also go to jail for contempt of court.
