The Minister of Religious Affairs will not just be able to fire the rabbi, but will appoint a committee composed of a dayan, a different city rabbi and a legal counsel who will look into complaints about the rabbi and into his performance. They will then make a recommendation to the Minister, who will be able to fire the rabbi based on their recommendation.The rabbi would first be given a disciplinary hearing, and would not immediately be fired.
The purpose of the law is to improve religious services for the people. The number of complaints about non-functioning city rabbis has supposedly climbed in recent years.

I hope this will be used properly and not just used as a way of getting rid of rabbis that the minister in office doesn't like or agree with.

This company annoys me. First, a cheesy guy calls me out of nowhere to try and recruit me for their service. I really don't like getting calls like this where people just want to sell me something. Miami personal injury lawyer
