After the Yom Kippur storm: Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu took an unusual step

The rabbi of the city of Safed and a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, reveals this morning that following the attacks on the 'Rosh Yehudi' organization and events with a religious tone in Tel Aviv, he is considering moving to Tel Aviv.

In an interview with GLZ radio station Rabbi Eliyahu said: "The public is voting with its feet, I considered moving to Tel Aviv - because it is very important for me to be at the heart of what is happening. But for now I'm staying in Safed."

Rabbi Eliyahu added: "I don't understand why the prayer of Arabs in Tel Aviv is accepted by all the liberals and progressives, and praying in the separation of Jews is something that is unacceptable. Who gave them the right to dictate our values?"
