Rabbi Chaim Druckman's students expressed their disappointment over Chief Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef's remarks against him during the weekly Shabbat evening lecture.

"Rabi Druckman decided to treat the chief rabbinate with respect, while the chief rabbi, for his part, treats Rabbi Druckman with contempt. We are very sorry for his hurtful words and we call on him to find a way to retract his statements."
