The 27-year-old Josefa Jalal Wood-Eisenberg, a representative of the ultra-orthodox Jewish community of Brooklyn, won a lawsuit: she is officially allowed to practice in the gym in a skirt-the traditional clothing of religious Jews.
The respondent in this process was the network of women's fitness clubs Lucille Roberts, which in 2015 banned Yosef from attending one of its establishments.
The suit was considered by the federal court of Manhattan. The judges recognized the management of the fitness company as guilty of discrimination on religious grounds and forced him to accept Wood-Eisenberg as a member of the club and pay her compensation, the amount of which the press will not disclose.
The plaintiff, who by this time moved from Brooklyn to Philadelphia, told reporters that for two years after the "exile", she trained at home using video clips.
