President of the Israeli Supreme Court Esther Hayut and all fifteen judges assemble to hear petitions against the 'reasonableness clause' at the court premises in Jerusalem, on September 12, 2023. The petitions call to strike down the clause passed by Israel's hardline government through parliament in July, a major element of a controversial judicial overhaul that has triggered mass protests and divided the nation. The amendment limits the powers of the top court to review and sometimes overturn government decisions, which opponents say paves the way to authoritarianism.

UMAN, UKRAINE - SEPTEMBER 26: Orthodox Jewish pilgrims perform tashlikh, a Jewish atonement ritual, at the bank of a lake formed by the Umanka River September 26, 2022 in Uman, Ukraine. Thousands of Hasidic pilgrims, mostly men, arrived in Uman to mark the new year, which began at sundown yesterday. Uman contains the burial site of a revered 18th-century rabbi, Nachman of Breslav, and in a typical year might see tens of thousands of pilgrims for Rosh Hashanah. Fewer are expected this year, amid warnings from Israeli and Ukrainian officials to not travel. (Photo by Byron Smith/Getty Images)
