Haredi come to the defense of the Chief Rabbinate
I am impressed.
When ever before did the Haredi community, via its public, its representatives, or its media, ever care so much about the Chief Rabbinate of Israel that it went out of its way to fight on behalf of it, or to speak out to defend its honor? When before did the Haredi community, via its public, its representatives, or its media, ever care so much about Sephardim that it went out of its way to fight on behalf of a maligned Sephardi Jew, or to speak out to defend his honor?

This must surely be an historic moment. This must surely be a significant moment.

They were defending their own agenda, to disparage and annul Data Leumi Rav Lavie's Tzfas Get.
And Rav Yosef happens to be a champion of other pet causes of the haredi press and askanim, like going up to Har HaBayit, Tzohar, women's causes, etc.
And BTW, wasn't Stern correct when he said Rav Yosef is not qualified to sit as a dayan, as he never legitimately passed the dayanut exam?
As for Stern's saying that Rav Yosef is no dayan, meaning he never passed the
Agree with Shalom. When you write a tongue-in-cheek post, you should be sure to add a smiley (or something like it). If not, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law. Thanks.
