Court rules against former MAOIH head’s request for immediate legal protection

As is known, the former president of the Autonomous Orthodox Jewish Community of Hungary (MAOIH) challenged the registration of the current president and secretary-general of the MAOIH in court, and as an immediate measure, he had asked to „reinstate himself as president” until the court’s decision- read a statement on maoih.hu.

According to the article, the Metropolitan Court of Budapest, by its order of June 21, 2023, rejected the former president’s application for immediate legal protection and for interim measures.

The court pointed out that the former president, as the plaintiff, „does not have any basis for his claims that the property and integrity of the defendant church in question could be jeopardized.”

Subject to the court order, Gábor Keszler continues to be the president of the MAOIH and Rabbi Shmuel Oirechman, the secretary-general.
