State comptroller's report: City rabbi was abroad every five days on average

A city rabbi appointed by the state has traveled abroad 87 times in the last four and a half years and was absent from his job for 44 percent of that period, the state comptroller's report claimed.

Another rabbi spent 335 days abroad—one out of every five days on average, according to the report. 

In most cases, the travels were not reported as vacations, and the rabbis were paid a salary of NIS 1.3 million while being abroad.
