Not a word about the establishments that delivered the fake certifications in exchange for money. These people should be investigated as well and dealt with accordingly. To pretend you are something you are not just to get a little more in the end of the month is pathetic. They have no self respect and no honor.

Will the IDF publish a list of names? Will these fraudsters be registered with a criminal record? I hope so. Will there be an investigation of the IDF officers who accepted these fraudulent qualifications without verification?

pervades all establishments.

"V'ha Kessef Ya'aneh Et Ha-Kol." If these charges are true, what a terrible Chilul Ha-Shem!

Chareidim and Orthodox here, as chareidim and orthodox don't serve in this secular army. They might not even be religious at all! No where is it mentioned that they're religious or even keep Shabbat.

IT IS AFTER ALL YNET! WILL THE "RABBIS" BE PROSECUTED FOR VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 97b OF THE PENAL CODE FOR THEIR ACTIONS AT GUSH KATIF ? HMMMMM ??

Come on Mirriam , what about building bridges between religious and secular people, what unites us all in order to become a strong nation , if we cant unite in the face of those who wish to destroy us, then we have no future what so ever. It seems we dont have all the facts in this article , to understand a full picture , are these people religious, are they secular people pretending to be religious?

This is a terrible story. Our whole Israeli society has become so corrupt.

You insult all the religious soldiers who , contrary to your bipedes , serve their country . But why are those false "papers" not checked seriously .

This is truly disgusting. BUT...is it any more disgusting that the background and behaviour of many of our "elected" lawmakers. Why should the IDF, or indeed anyone, be held to a higher standard of wethics than the Members of the Knesset, and the Prime Minister, not to mention many other ministers.

it's corrupting Israel w/ fraud, lawlessness, and embarassment. The best system of government seems to be a nation that seperates itself from the 'religious' leaders who lead them straight to hell. Women beaters, thieves,rabbis who throw women off buses, what the hell?Haven't you had enough of the abuses of this corrupted system of gain for fraud and deception? Israel will never fulfill her greatest destiny if this horror show continues. You encourage it by allowing criminals to act w/ impunity because of one reason, 'they are considered 'religious rabbis. Hmm, better get new, better standards. Poverty should be more admired. Gilt brings guilty hoodlums. Nice to see the gov. FINALLY doing something productive by re-examining their claims of being 'rabbis'.
