Torah Sages give Litzman the nod for health ministry
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Council of Torah Sages gives Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman its blessing to become the first ever minister from the United Torah Judaism, Haaretz says.
The High Court on Sunday gave the state 60 days to appoint a full minister to the post, which is currently held by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Until now, the members of Litzman’s ultra-Orthodox, non-Zionist party have opted not to be appointed full ministers on religious ideological grounds.
