Bennet, Livni propose creation of single chief rabbi for Isael
None
Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and Religious Affairs Minister Naftali Bennett, as well as his deputy minister Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan, distributed a legal memorandum proposing the election of a single chief rabbi for Israel.
The memorandum was written by the Justice Ministry and was intended to create a situation in which Israel will have one chief rabbi regardless of ethnicity (sephardi or ashkenazi). "Israel has one prime minister, one president, one Supreme Court president, and one IDF Chief of Staff. It's time for one rabbi for one nation," said Livni. (Moran Azulay)
