Rav Kanievsky Appointed As Education Minister
In his bid to avoid a fourth election in one year and maintain his hold on power as Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu struck an unprecedented power-sharing deal with United Torah Judaism. “It has become clear that the guidelines of Rav Chaim Kanievsky shlita have the support of the nation, and I offer my deepest respect to the Sar HaTorah of our time,” he said. “I look forward to his sagely guidance as a member of the governing cabinet.”
