Candidate for Israel Police chief rabbi: Don’t rent to gays
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRabbi Rami Berachyahu, a candidate for the post of chief rabbi of Israel Police, reportedly advised against renting apartment to gay couples.
According to the Ynet news website, Berachyahu, who is chief rabbi of the West Bank settlement of Talmon, wrote in a missive in his community bulletin two years ago that he advocated “warm and humane” treatment of gays as individuals and criticized the poor attitudes that some have toward gay people.
