NEW: California judge bans Kars4Kids ads from broadcasting in California, says the money was mostly going to a Jewish organization in New Jersey. Judge Gassia Apkarian alleged that the ads were misleading because they led the public “into believing donations aid underprivileged children in California.” “…the funds primarily support a separate organization benefiting specific families in New York, New Jersey, and abroad based on religious affiliation,” the judge said. Kars4Kids primarily funds Oorah, which spends money on various programs and initiatives including a $16.5 million purchase of a building in Israel, according to the New York Times. “We believe this decision is deeply flawed, ignores the facts and misapplies the law,” the organization said. “It’s well known that we are a Jewish organization and our website makes it abundantly clear.”
