Chief rabbi: Let Jewish extremist attend his son’s circumcision

Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi David Lau calls on the Israel Prisons Service to allow Jewish extremist Meir Ettinger to attend his son’s circumcision tomorrow.

Beersheba District Court ruled earlier today that Ettinger, who is currently in administrative detention, cannot leave jail to attend the ceremony.

Lau asks IPS Commissioner Ofra Klinger to find a way to overturn the ruling after receiving a direct appeal from Ettinger’s wife, Israel Radio reports.
