A group of about 50 leading Zionist-Religious rabbis decided Thursday evening to "lower the flames" and reduce their media appearances in the wake of immorality charges raised in the media against Rabbi Mordechai Elon. It was also decided to distribute a position paper for rabbis and other educators to use when discussing the matter with students and the public at large.
The rabbis noted that "the Zionist-religious public has healthy powers and every person, community and educational community has to add holiness and be careful in matters of modesty."
