Rabbi Bans Women From Elections
Posted on June 2, 2010 by Emily
According to BBC, Chief Rabbi Elyakim Levanon of the West Bank has recently banned women from running in elections in his community. After an anonymous woman wrote to him, expressing her interest in running for Common Secretary, Rabbi Levanon said:
“The first problem is giving women authority, and being a secretary means having authority. The second problem is mixing men and women. Secretary meetings are held at night and sometimes end very late. It is not proper to be in mixed company in such situations.”
He also wrote a column in the community newspaper which suggested that ‘women must only be heard through their husbands.’
