Rabbi Faces Unprecedented Disciplinary Hearing for Expressing Dissent
Excerpts;
For the first time in Israel, a Rabbi faced a disciplinary religious court set up by the Chief Rabbinate for making “extremist statements”.
The Rabbi is Rabbi David Druckman, one of those who opposed the disengagement plan, who said it was a serious violation of Halacha [Jewish Law], so serious as to be a betrayal of Judaism, the Torah and Halacha.
Druckman’s lawyer, Rabbi Tzuriel Bublil, appeared on his behalf, who argued that not only is Rabbi Druckman being put on trial, but all the Rabbis of Israel, who consider Halacha to be the supreme arbiter.
