Elections for the Chief Rabbi's offices in Jerusalem are set for the 21st of Adar (Sunday, March 7). The date was announced in a letter sent by Rabbi Nissim Ben Shimon, chairman of the city's election committee, to the legal advisor of the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
The letter ignores a request by the Jerusalem legal advisor, Yossi Habilio, to Attorney General Menachem Mazuz to intervene in the elections, on the claim that the elections committee does not properly represent the population of the city.
