MK Matan Kahane (Wednesday) addresses the issue of extending the term of Chief Rabbi to Jerusalem, Rabbi Aryeh Stern.
"We will not allow the Shas to harm the rabbis of religious Zionism. We will work to extend Stern's term. The practice of extending the office of city rabbis is widely accepted in Israel. Rabbi Stern may not be discriminated against simply because he does not belong to the right sector. "
"The Ministry of Religious Affairs must allow Rabbi Stern to continue as Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, and we will stand with him in the New Right," Kahane said.
