Interior Minister Deri accuses Reform Movement of trying to destroy Jewish unity

Interior Minister and Shas Leader Aryeh Deri came out against Jewish leaders of the liberal Reform Movement on Monday, accusing them of wanting to shatter Jewish unity.

 

In reference to the government’s decision to pass a conversion law that would leave control of all conversation matters in the hands of the Orthodox Rabbinate and the decision to freeze plans for an egalitarian site at the Kotel, Deri said:

 

“I am not against any Jew but (I am against) reform organizations that try to destroy unity. The State of Israel is built on one Jewish tradition. The attempt to turn the Kotel into a few areas destroys the people of Israel.”
