Son of late chief rabbi Ovadia Yosef found guilty of breach of trust
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHolon Chief Rabbi Avraham Yosef, the son of late Shas party spiritual leader Ovadia Yosef, is found guilty of two counts of breach of trust by the Tel Aviv District Court.
Yosef, who has served as the coastal city’s chief rabbi since 1998, is on trial for forcefully demanding that business owners only purchase meat products with a kashrut certificate issued by Beit Yosef, a kosher food supervision service owned by his brother, Moshe.
Police opened an investigation into Yosef in 2013, and he was indicted by the Tel Aviv court in December 2015.
