Rabbi Shai Piron has announced that he has sued the Hotam organization in the religious courts of Eretz Hemdah-Gazit.
The former education minister was shown in a video produced by Hotam that presents people and bodies in the Religious Zionist stream who are allegedly collaborating with the New Israel Fund. Rabbi Piron said, "The video and the booklet that were published are full of lies and inaccuracies. There are no truths in these publications, and they are offensive, humiliating and libelous."
