The daily Yated Neeman points out the cooperation between Bayit Yehudi and Yesh Atid impacts other areas beyond ongoing coalition talks, pointing to a bill presented in Knesset by MK (Yesh Atid) Aliza Lavie and MK (Bayit HaYehudi) Shuli Moalem-Refaeli demanding at least four spots for women to serve on the committee that appoints dayanim. The MKs feel that four positions must be locked in for women as there is a need to significantly increase the influence of women in the rabbinical court system in Israel.
Yated quotes ?rabbinical sources?, who feel the MKs have basically opted to join the growing anti-religious sentiment in Israel, lending a hand to the Reform and others seeking to destroy frum Yiddishkheit. They feel the MKs are seeking to ?delegitimize? the rabbinical court system, which today operates within the confines of Halacha. They are operating under the guise of alleged discrimination against women in the religious court system, the rabbonim are quoted as saying.
The report adds that state law empowers the rabbinical court system with exclusivity over marriage and divorce, which Baruch Hashem are conducted within the confines of Halacha. They feel these efforts are representative of those seeking to weaken the Halachic influence of the Rabbinate the court system, which has long been an anathema for them. ?These elements are continuing efforts to do everything within their power to stop this from remaining under exclusive Halachic control?.
?While on the surface it appears the MKs are genuinely seeking to improve the status of women in the rabbinical court system, in actuality it is another effort to undermine the system and to empower the system to dictate to the dayanim how they must act in their decision-making process of realize they will not be selected as a dayan.?
The report concludes that there is not a requirement to have female representation on the committee which selects dayanim, certainly not four.
