Former Chief Sephardic Rabbi a Kahanist?

(1/2) > >>

FULL METAL JACKET:
Did anyone see the documentary on Kahanists PBS put out? Near the end he was welcoming a Kahanist prisoner who just got out of jail.

Click on Chapter 4, and skip until 1:25 seconds, and you'll see him

I'm wondering is this the former chief sephardic rabbi or someone else? I might be confused because the style of dress is almost identical to the current chief.

Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
Thats Rav Moredechi Eliyahu Shalita. Not a kahanist officially, but does have right wing views and rulings. I also belive that he was the Rav who got Rabbi Kahane's son Benyamin Kahane and Talia Kahane married, and their are pictures where they were together.

kahaneloyalist:
He and to a much greater degree his son Shmuel, are known for strongly supporting Rabbi Kahane zt'

--- End quote ---

His son Shmuel is the Rabbi of Tzfat.

A truly great Jew respected by all. Even by the Haredim of Tzfat.

FULL METAL JACKET:
Thanks everyone for all the replies. Good to know.

It's interesting to see how many people are sympathetic to Kahanist views but don't necessarily endorse them officially. Must be many people throughout Israel who fit this description.
