Boston Rabbinical Court brokers an agreement between South End tenants and landlords.

Rabbinical Court of Justice of the Associated Synagogues of Massachusetts forges an agreement between tenants and landlords Israel, Joseph, and Raphael Mindick. Reputedly the first involvement by a Rabbinical court in a tenant-landlord dispute in the U.S., it includes a pledge by the landlords to maintain their properties and the tenants agree to pay their rent. The agreement proves short-lived, however, the landlords subsequently sell most of their buildings to the Boston Redevelopment Authority, which then turns over many of them to the Tenants Development Council, a community development corporation formed by the tenants.
