Hollywood, FL - City Officials Voting To Allow Synagogue In Residential Neighborhood

Hollywood, FL - City officials voted to allow an Orthodox Jewish synagogue to stay at its current location in a residential neighborhood in return for the group dropping its religious discrimination lawsuit against them.

The last-minute proposal does not include the city paying any money to the Hollywood Community Synagogue, which currently operates out of two residential houses on North 46th Avenue in Hollywood Hills.

The settlement also stipulates that the synagogue leaders drop their lawsuit against City Commissioner Sal Oliveri, who was specifically named in the discrimination lawsuit.
