Deputy Attorney General Adv. Erez Kaminitz yesterday (Sunday) ordered the cancellation of dozens of appointments approved by the Minister of Religious Affairs, Yaakov Avitan, in religious councils around the country, claiming that they were approved in an "expedited and abrupt procedure" and that some candidates were convicted. Misdemeanor serious criminal and against some of them are currently being conducted criminal proceedings. "in addition, said Kamenetz that out of all the appointments approved by the Minister, only one woman was appointed, be raised by the lack of adequate representation for women.



a few hours before the dissolution of the Knesset and exit the elections, Avitan, a representative of the In the government, he has signed dozens of appointments of superiors and members to many religious councils across the country.

These include appointments in Ashdod, Bnei Brak, Binyamina, Sderot, Ofakim, Ramat Hasharon and Kiryat Shmona.

Kaminitz stated that Avitan's decision and the appointment process "caused significant defects" and that the appointments "were made without professional work being done," and should be rescinded.



Among the allegations raised by the Deputy Attorney General against Avitan's move is one allegation that the suitability and suitability of the candidates for the presidency of the religious council or the temporary superiors was not examined. In addition, Kaminitz notes that out of 16 superiors approved by the minister, only one was found. It was necessary to ensure that at least eight women were appointed as superiors, "in a way that would not create a lack of adequate representation for women.

Another argument against the appointments of the Minister is for failure to check criminal record, as required by regulations.

The Legal Adviser of the Ministry of Religious Affairs is required to check the criminal record of the candidates to serve as members of the Religious Council or of the superiors, prior to their appointment, to ensure that the record does not prevent them from serving in a position of substantive prevention.



Despite this, in some cases, the appointment was made by the Minister without approval, and in other cases where the appointments were transferred to legal counsel, it was found that "some have been convicted of serious criminal offenses and some are currently undergoing criminal proceedings."

Kaminitz also notes that the decision to approve the appointments is a "hasty decision on the eve of the election period" and the minister was asked to conduct the entire procedure anew in coordination with the legal bureau in his office.



The Atim organization, which provides assistance and guidance to those experiencing difficulties with the religious services and the "Trustees of Torah and Labor" movement, responded that the "Deputy Letter to the Speaker" teaches many, unfortunately, about the dismal state of religious services in Israel.

"Although we have approached the minister several times to encourage and assist in establishing proper religious councils, which include women in a proportion that suits their share of the population - Rabbi Avitan chose to have a kidnapper and preferred to select candidates including some with a serious criminal background and appoint them in a procedure that violates procedures and laws."

The organizations also said that "it is impossible not to wonder why the minister chose these superiors over those who did not cling to them, and why the minister appointed only one woman, even though he has a list of 20 eligible women who meet the threshold, which we formulated and submitted to the minister. In the Forum for Women in Religious Councils and through MK Tehla Friedman.

We hope that the cancellation of the appointments will be a turning point in terms of the Ministry of Religious Affairs' attitude to the religious councils and those who deserve to hold this important and sensitive position. "
