The U.S. Federal Appeals Court has recently upheld the authoritative decision of a Bais Din (Rabbinic Arbitration Panel), affirming a substantial $4 million settlement. This decision, Rabinowitz v. Kelman, No. 24-1389-cv, marks a pivotal moment in the recognition of religious arbitration awards within the secular legal system, underscoring the substantial respect and deference given to Bais Din's rulings in U.S. courts.
