Bethel Finance news:
“IDF Radio" (Galei Zahal) reports that the social-economic cabinet, headed by Minister of Finance Yuval Steinitz, will likely double the salaries of municipal rabbis by thousands of shekels a month. The decision will apply to rabbis appointed since 2006. The pay hike, proposed by Minister for Religious Affairs Yaakov Margi, will come into effect in March.
In 2005, the government cut the salaries of municipal rabbis as part of its effort to deal with the local authorities' skyrocketing debts.
There are currently 120 municipal rabbis. The pay hike will cost taxpayers millions of shekels a year.
