Gratitude: Rabbi Bo'aron supports Rabbi Amar in the Jerusalem Rabbinate

October 13, 2014   

Repeat support: Grand Rabbi Zion Boaron, a member of the Beit Din HaGadol, who was nominated by the Chief Rabbinate, the Grand Rabbinate, the Grand Rabbinate, Amar, in the elections for the Chief Rabbinate, supports him for the Jerusalem Rabbinate. Haredim10 learned that in recent days, he came to the home of Rabbi Boaron, one of the members of the electoral body, and asked him who to vote for. The Grand Rabbi replied: "Of course, Rabbi Amar, there is no doubt." As we recall, the Grand Rabbinate nominated Rabbi Boaron in the elections for the Chief Rabbinate, against the Grand Rabbinate, the Grand Rabbinate, the Grand Rabbi Yosef, who supported his son, the Grand Rabbi Yosef. This led to a major rift in the Sephardic community, which has not been healed to this day. However, despite the fact that relations between the Grand Rabbinate and the Shas leadership are still very tense, the Grand Rabbi Boaron reconciled with Shas members, both in the rabbinical leadership and with Aryeh Deri, and even attended his wedding. A 'sulcha' was also held with the Grand Rabbi Yosef, and they serve together in the Beit Din HaGadol, and have established continuous ties. In light of this, it is interesting to see Rabbi Bo'aron's firm support for Rabbi Amar, even though Shas still does not support him.
