Dear chaver,

Today, a member of the RCA has chosen to take his case against the Chief Rabbinate to the pages of the New York Times. While there are issues that challenge the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, both internally and with regard to the worldwide Jewish community, the RCA strongly objects to the airing of these issues in the general media. Doing so undermines the integrity of Halakah and the Jewish community in the larger world. We are proud of our recent agreement with the Chief Rabbinate on behalf of our members and our communities, and remain committed to work be-darkei no’am on behalf of Torah and klal Yisrael. We urge our members to discuss these issues with their communities.
