Israeli Postal couriers to deliver rabbinical court papers

The Postal Authority has beaten five other companies to win the public tender for a NIS 5.5 million annual contract to deliver rabbinical court documents personally to those involved in cases.

Postal Authority director-general Yossi Shelley said that until now, the mail services delivered verdicts, summonses and other such documents by registered mail; now it will use messengers to deliver them by hand.

Rabbinical court system director Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan said that court services will now improve and be more efficient.
