Chief IDF rabbi reprimanded for overpaying underling

IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot has disciplined the army’s chief rabbi for paying his top officer too much.

Head IDF Rabbi Rafi Peretz is accused of granting his bureau chief, not named in media reports, a salary commensurate with one for a rabbi at the head of a command, though his position is more modest.

The officer, who is also head of information security, will be forced to pay back tens of thousands of shekels over the affair, according to a Channel 2 report.
