Weinstein: Criminal and disciplinary issues raised by state-employed rabbis' statement about renting to non-Jews will be explored; Yad Vashem states rabbinic letters a "severe blow" to Jewish values.

Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein on Thursday stated that his office would check if the behavior of state-employed rabbis, who signed a letter against renting to non-Jews, was "criminal."

Weinstein's comments came in a letter to Meretz MK Ilan Gilon who had called on the rabbis to be ousted from their positions.
