Statement on detention of Rabbi Dov Haiyun in Israel
July 19th, 2018

“We are deeply disturbed by the news that Rabbi Dov Haiyun, a leading Israeli Conservative rabbi, was detained by the police for conducting marriages. Today’s action is dramatically inconsistent with Israel’s promise as the home of the entire Jewish people, and its commitment to equality and respect for all its citizens,” said Eric S. Goldstein, CEO of UJA-Federation of New York.
