If you're looking at Israel's Chief Rabbinate for spirituality and religious
inspiration, you may want to look elsewhere. The institution is sometimes
seen as illiberal and corrupt, and its mission - to oversee Kosher
certifications and Jewish marriages and burials - can seem irrelevant to
many Israelis. And the process for electing its leadership is even more
competitive, fractious and, yes, dirty than getting political candidates
into the Knesset.
