From the Jewish Chronicle :
An Ethiopian-born Israeli has won about £15,000 in compensation from Arad's religious council after she took them to court over racial discrimination. Leah Ishtar had found a job at a falafel stall in Arad. When Rabbi Rafael Bussi, the kashrut supervisor for the local religious council, visited the stall he told her that her Judaism was in doubt and that she could not touch the food. [where's that written] He refused to accept her assurances that she was Jewish. "Now I feel that there is justice in Israel," she said after the verdict. "They got what they deserved and now they'll have to pay".
