From Toras Avigdor:
Q:
What is your opinion about the recent election of Rabbi Goren as the new Chief Rabbi in Israel?
A:
Last week I spoke about this already. But in case somebody didn’t hear me, I’ll repeat it because it’s important. The election of the new Chief Rabbi in Israel is a national misfortune. And that’s really enough said. These two persons should have refused to run against two older rabbis [Rav Issar Yehuda Unterman and Rav Yitzchak Nissim]. Two older rabbis against whom there were no accusations except that they were too frum. And those accusations are not even true anyways. When old Rabbis are accused of being of being too loyal to the Torah then nobody should have dared to be a candidate. And anybody who was elected on such grounds is, is – I don’t want to say what he is.
