The opinion

HAMITER, Justice

(concurring).

In my opinion the plea to the jurisdiction ratione materiae filed in this cause by the defendants is meritorious. An infringement of property, civil or political rights is not in dispute herein. Rather, at issue is merely the defendants’ alleged violation of certain precepts important to Jewish worship. The question presented, in other words, relates solely to religious rights. Hence, the controversy is not subject to judicial determination.

Accordingly, I respectfully concur in the decree rescinding the issued injunction and dismissing plaintiffs’ suit.
