Rabbi A., a well-known figure in religious Zionism, was recently appointed rabbi of the Shin Bet and the Mossad.
Dvir Amar, the newspaper's correspondent at Sheva, first announced his appointment on his Twitter account.
It is not clear exactly what A.'s job definition is, but this is not the first time a rabbi has been appointed to this position.
The GSS confirmed the appointment of A. to the position, but clarified that his identity was confidential and refused to provide details about past rabbis.
Many of Israel's intelligence organizations face many halakhic questions as part of their day-to-day activities, with the rabbi expected to provide a solution to real-time problems.
Because it is a matter of national security, the employees of the organizations work on Saturdays and holidays as a matter of routine.
Rabbi A. is considered the forerunner of religious Zionism.
After studying at several of the national religious flag yeshivas he was appointed rabbi of a national religious locality.
At the same time he engaged in teaching and other public activities.
In the past he even took steps to get into politics.
