Hundreds of residents of Shoham in central Israel are fighting a municipal decision to give land for a synagogue for the town’s 90-member Reform community.
They are also angry at the city’s chief rabbi Dovid Stav, head of the progressive Tzohar organization, for his refusal to get involved with the issue.
“I have very strong ideological differences with the Reform movement, but in a democratic state you can’t stand in the way of those who believe differently from you,” Stav explained.

what a surprise all attack rav stav .
STAV AND HIS COLLEAGUES ARE ALSO REFORM, BUT THEY CALL THEMSELVES ORTHODOX.
Thank God, Stav never became Chief Rabbi.
So they finally admit it. “Israel” is a “democratic state”, not a “Jewish state”.
No, they still fool themselves that the Zionist State is both “Jewish” and “Democrat”.
The catch, as they admit when they have no choice, though, is that sometimes the “Jewish” part has to yield to “democracy”. Like here.
Who is Rabbi Stav and what’s his deal?
Nice Mustache Stav !
What about the beard?
It would seem important to once again remind everyone that the Brisker Rav held, and the Gerrer Rebbe then and many others signed, that Mizrachi education is a “sea of heresy mixed in with a drop of Torah”.
If the reform were in control would they allow for an Orthodoxshule, Yeshiva or Chassidic shule or Yeshiva?
His shita is basically Reformist, except that he wears a head covering. These days, many reform clergy women do the same.
i dont know if those rabbonim would say that today. i am a staunch agudist from an agudist family,
,have a bais yaakov education, and lived in EY when i was first married a long time ago so that my husband could spend time in kollel. i am privileged to be jewish. nevertheless, my observation is that mizrachi has grown and their children are given a torahdik education. they are mostly our partners in fighting for torah, just like there are so many with my background who have nebech fallen by the wayside
show me the quote from the Gerrer Rebbi.
