Bias Lawsuit Against Cooper City can Proceed in part

COOPER CITY, FL — A federal judge decided this week that parts of a religious discrimination lawsuit that an Orthodox Jewish synagogue filed against Cooper City can move forward.

Chabad of Nova, an outreach center now operating in Davie, filed the lawsuit in May, saying city zoning laws forced the congregation out of the city by unfairly limiting where the center could operate.
