Chief Rabbinate Council Condemns Dismissal of Jerusalem
Rabbinate's Rav Posek
By Betzalel Kahn
At a meeting this week, the Chief Rabbinate Council denounced
the dismissal of HaRav Binyomin Adler, the rov posek
of the Jerusalem Rabbinate's kashrus department.
The Council said religious council heads should not be
allowed to fire rabbonim from kashrus departments without
receiving approval from an authorized rabbinical figure.
Speaking at the meeting, Chief Rabbi Yonah Metzger said he
raised the matter for urgent discussion after consulting with
gedolei Yisroel. The members of the Chief Rabbinate
Council, some of whom serve as rabbonim of major cities
around the country and thus are very aware of the sensitive
nature of this precedent, supported the announcement
protesting the dismissal.
