“In recent months, I have been personally hurt several times by the statements of the Rishon Lezion Gaon Rabbi Yosef, however I gritted my teeth and remained silent. I will do the same this time as long as the law allows me to do so, “said Kahana.

Member of Knesset Moshe Arbel said: “Uri Shoham’s old age shames his youth. Every sensible person understands the role of a rabbi in Israel since the giving of the Torah, to carry the word of Gd proudly and to keep it, you will not live in front of anyone.”

Arbel attacked them and said: “The lack of courage to handle my appeals against a family court judge who disobeyed and other serious complaints, leaves him time to work for the Reform Center and despise the honor of the Torah and Maran Rishon LeZion and act as the last ignorant and peoples. Justice in Israel. “

MK Yinon Azulai said: “Judge Uri Shoham’s decision is a scandalous decision, that every Jew should be shocked and hurt by the violation of the dignity of the Torah.

“The Rishon LeZion Gaon Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef Shlita in his words, continues to copy the rumor and Torah opinion of the rabbis of Israel from time immemorial and so he will continue to do so without fear and apprehension. This is the Torah will not be replaced. I suggest to Judge Shoham to concentrate his energies on dealing with the problems in the justice system, and there are many of them. “

MK Michael Malkieli said: “The decision of the Ombudsman, Uri Shoham, is a national day of mourning that will be remembered for generations. This is a serious injury to any conservative public in Israel whose religion is dear to their hearts.

The chairman of Religious Zionism, Bezalel Smutrich, said: “The attempt to prevent the chief rabbis from expressing their opinions on issues within their authority and responsibility is serious and outrageous, and Minister Kahana did well to reject Commissioner Shoham’s recommendations outright.”
