The Chief Rabbinate.
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I’m not one of the Chief Rabbinate’s enthusiastic supporters, but I still couldn’t compare my criticism of it to the deep loathing you have for this institution. So what is the main reason that led you to come out so sharply against the Rabbinate? I mean, I can think of several things, but none of them seem sufficient to explain the tremendous hatred you’ve developed toward it.
Answer
I’ve explained this in several places. It is an institution that is corrupt to its core and extremely harmful, whose main business is desecration of God’s name while using the name of God.
