The Elijah Interfaith Institute's 5-day interfaith conference is themed “The Future of Religious Leadership,” hosted by the Municipality of Haifa.
Over 50 religious leaders from around the world are participating, representing Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism/Sikh.
In keeping with the event’s theme, the Elijah Institute released results of a survey on the topic of religious leadership. Conducted in August and September of this year, the poll claims to show how members of different religions view their religious leadership.
Rabbi She’ar-Yashuv Cohen, Chief Rabbi of Haifa and a participant in the meeting, commented on the question of rabbis in politics. He told Israel National News, "Party politics is not the right venue for rabbinical leaders - but questions regarding the integrity of the Land of Israel and other religious issues that arise on our national agenda are a different story."
