It was dramatic, but not as dramatic as it might sound.
The Jerusalem office of the “independent” haredi educational system Chinuch Atzmai was raided by government agents yesterday, Yeshiva World reported. Agents from the state’s court collection authority Ho’tzaot L’Poel reportedly confiscated computers and other office equipment.
The raid apparently took place because there was a judgment against Chinuch Atzmai in a case brought by an employee who is owed more than $57,000 in back salary.
Payment has now reportedly been made.
Rabbi Tzvi Baumel of Chinuch Atzmai reportedly claimed his office tried to pay the employee, but the employee failed to give Chinuch Atzmai bank information and that delayed the transfer of the money the employee was owed. That delay supposedly led to the judgment against Chinuch Atzmai.
