Shas MK Ariel Atias spoke with Galei Tzahal’s (Army Radio) Razi Barkai, addressing the election for new Chief Rabbis of Israel. Atias stated Maran HaGaon HaRav Ovadia Yosef Shlita is opposed to the candidacy of Rabbi David Stav in the race for Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel. “Rabbi Amar gave Rav Ovadia a letter in which he expresses support for Rabbi Ariel, not Rav Stav” Atias explained.
Atias explained that Shas cannot support Rabbi Stav’s candidacy for as long as Maran opposes it, with the Gadol Hador explaining Rabbi Stav is simply not suited for the job. Rav Ovadia also expressed fears that if elected “Rav Stav will destroy the institute of rabbonus.”
