Shas paper calls Rabbi Stav ‘Reform with kippa’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe ultra-Orthodox war on Rabbi David Stav over his initiative to establish a new conversion authority separate from the Chief Rabbinate has escalated to using what the community sees as the worst insult: Reform Jews.
In an editorial in Yom Leyom, a Shas-affiliated publication, the rabbis spearheading the initiative are described as “Reform with kippot.” Stav’s picture was displayed in the pamphlet with the headline “Dangerous to the rabbinate, to Judaism and the Torah.”
Other rabbis behind the initiative are mentioned in the editorial by name but without the title “rabbi.”
