Jerusalem chief rabbi slams city’s gay pride parade
Rabbi Aryeh Stern, one of Jerusalem’s two chief rabbis, comes out against the Pride Parade set to begin in Jerusalem at 4:30 p.m.
The march “contradicts the holiness of Jerusalem that is so important to us,” Stern says.
He also defends Safed chief rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, who last week said of the LGBT community that “the term ‘sick’ is a gentle one” in describing the community.
