Rallying to Defend R David Stav

«Jewish groups have called for civility in the campaign for chief rabbi of Israel after candidate Rabbi David Stav was harassed at a wedding and labeled "a wicked man" by Shas spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.

The American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League were among the groups this week that came out against violence and asked Israeli leaders of all stripes to promote respect among the factions.

The Rabbinical Council of America and the International Rabbinic Fellowship also supported Stav, the head of the Tzohar organization for religious Zionist rabbis in Israel.»
