A group of rabbis has demanded that the IDF’s outgoing chief rabbi be the subject of a boycott until he apologizes for taking part in the disengagement.
“We demand that the Chief Military Rabbi, Brigadier General Yisrael Weiss, ask forgiveness and pardon from the dead and the families of the dead, and all those evacuated from Gush Katif ahead of the Day of Atonement,” members of SOS-Israel told Ynet on Thursday.
At the start of the next month, the rabbi will complete his six year term, and he will be replaced by Brigadier General Avi Rontzki. SOS-Israel launched an initiative before Weiss retires, entitled: ‘The seeking of forgiveness and pardon from the dead evacuated from Gush Katif and their families.’
