Segregation at Petah Tikva religious school
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: Ethiopian Jewry, Petah Tikva 
Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for December 5, 2007.

A religious school in Petah Tikva may be more suited to the American South of the 1950s than to 21st century Israel.

It was recently discovered that four Ethiopian girls enrolled in Lamerchav Elementary School are learning in complete isolation from their peers.

They study in separate classrooms, have their own recess time and are even reportedly given daily cab fare so as not to ride home on the bus with other students.
