The publication in knitwear of the line of appointments of Deputy Minister of Religions Matan Kahana in three local councils, raises much criticism in the locality of Kadima-Zoran, which opposes the appointment of a new head of a religious council.
According to Kahana’s announcement, it was decided that Efrat Rosenblatt She will head the religious council in Kadima-Zoran, but the appointment was made contrary to the opinion of the local council and its head, the Green Foundation.
According to local council officials, they only heard about Kahana’s move from the knitwear publication, and without any prior consultation with them and despite their explicit opposition.
According to them, Kahana’s decision is political, with the aim of ousting Ofer Guetta, the current head of the religious council, only because he is an appointment of Shas, even though the council and the residents are satisfied with his function.
Moreover, the council has already filed an administrative petition against Kahana’s decision, which they say will harm the fabric of life in the locality, which consists of secular, religious and ultra-Orthodox.
“The appointment will fatally damage the fabric of life in the locality”
Following the publication in Srugim, the head of the Kadima-Zoran local council attacks the move: “No hand was given to appoint an external religious council chairman and to replace the chief rabbi of the locality. The appointment of the chairman of a religious council who is not connected to the locality and does not know the community from the inside will fatally damage the fabric of life in the locality. “

“The minister’s move goes against all logic and prevents foreign interests. I call on him to return to negotiations and find a common solution. We have filed a petition in the Administrative Court and will continue to fight until a solution is found. The current religious council works and works to the satisfaction of residents.”
Green added: “The composition of the religious council, which was submitted by the council to the Ministry of Religions, was unanimously approved by the Kadima-Zoran council plenum by all 13 members and council members. The current religious council operates and provides religious services at the highest level.”
The office of Deputy Minister Kahana stated that “all appointments of Minister Kahana were made in accordance with the law with the approval of legal counsel.”
