The planned reintroduction of a bill funding appointments of new municipal rabbis is ratcheting up tensions in the wartime coalition headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Erstwhile partners Benny Gantz and Gideon Saar both object to the planned relaunch of the bill from 2023, which was stalled by the war, to appoint hundreds of new city rabbis at a cost of tens of millions of shekels annually, representatives of their parties say. Zeev Elkin, a member of Gideon Saars New Hope party, has informed coalition whip Ofir Katz of Netanyahus Likud party of the objection, citing an agreement signed by all coalition members to refrain from advancing any legislation without the pre-approval of all coalition parties, Makor Rishon reports

Following the postponement of a controversial coalition bill reducing local governments influence over the appointment of municipal rabbis, former Religious Services Minister Matan Kahana (National Unity) urges cities without a rabbi to hurry up and appoint one while they still retain control over the process. You still have the opportunity to appoint a rabbi under the existing regulations who is suitable for your city, but if you delay, it is very possible that the political alliance between [Finance Minister Bezalel] Smotrich and the ultra-Orthodox parties will bring back the law they tried to pass today, and then they will decide for you who will be your rabbi, over your heads, Kahana says in a video message to the heads of nearly 40 local authorities posted social media.
