Leading Dati Leumi Educators Fear Giving Education Portfolio to Rabbi Peretz


Leading educators in the dati leumi community are fearful that the chairman of Bayit Yehudi, Rafi Peretz, will become the next education minister. They feel that while they have respect for him, Rabbi Peretz lacks the experience required to deal with the political realities of the post, which they feel he lacks. They feel this will lead to Finance Ministry officials taking advantage of him, manipulating him and as a result, this may compromise religious education.

Opponents to Peretz’s appointment feel he is not suited for the post, as they prefer the appointment of a former education minister, including Gideon Saar.
