Sharansky: Passage of Mikveh Law 'unfortunate'

Chairman Natan Sharansky of the Jewish Agency has criticized the Knesset for its passage of the "Mikveh Law" on Monday evening.

Sharansky issued a statement which said, “This bill, which offers no solution to the non-Orthodox denominations, circumvents the rulings of the High Court of Justice. It is unfortunate that the bill passed before such a solution was ensured.”
