He can be a prime minister, a president or just an ordinary old member of the knesset. If that turns out to not "rewarding" enough he can always run for being mayor of some city,its profitability has a well proven record. record

Gady ,   Mexico City   (11.18.13)

6. The head Rabbi much like the President is a bogus position
Al   (11.18.13)
Its time that it be done away with. Israel is a small country with a very high defense cost. Its time to put the bloated civil service on a diet. Its unsustainable and you all know it. Most of Israel's leaders are out and out moochers and schnorrers. You wont find a Bloomberg type running a public office in Israel. They wouldn't be able to stomach the corruption, laziness and graft.

12. Be ye never so high, the law is above you
Mark ,   London, UK   (11.18.13)
The law, morality and justice. Bravo Israel. In which other countries are imams and cardinals (and their ilk) charged with such offences by the secular authorities? Bravo Israel which has secular leaders charged and tried. Some found innocent and some found guilty. Why does this not act as a deterrent?
13. The titlte Rabbi is being misused...
Avi ,   Israel   (11.18.13)
It has become synonymous to White collar crime, extortion and sexual misconduct...Shame...
14. unlink politics and religion
Robert ,   Antwerp Belgium   (11.18.13)
The sages said that "politics" equals lies (cheker) and senseless hatred (sinat hinam). Every time in our history that the religious made a power play or grab , it turned badly. The guemarra tells that during the second temple which lasted a little more than 400 years, the position of kohen gadol ( chief priest) was often for sale. The result was that there were during that time few chief priest who lasted more than a year. The first and foremost duty of a Rabbi is spiritual and it is not a business or politics in the eyes of Hashem. Of course, if I'm mistaken, do not hesitate to correct me
