Zolli converted when he was not named Chief Rabbi of Israel. It was a sour grapes move.

So nice of you to offer your opinion on the matter.
I guess you were there when he converted and could read his mind and heart.
I would ask you to offer an opinon as to what I am thinking.
But on second thought, I will tell you point blank- STFU.
Go back and read the comments to you from the others (except mine). They were all trying to educate you and all you can do is throw another stone. Good training, I guess.

This is not true, since Zolli was baptized in 1945, and the State of Israel didn't exist at that time.

Utter nonsense.

Your completely unsubstantiated accusation is as petty as it is false.

Zolli did not put himself forward as Chief Rabbi for Israel.

When Zolli converted in 1945, the Chief Ashkenazic Rabbi of Israel was Yitzhak Herzog, who was only 57 years old and in good health, and Herzog had already held the office for almost a decade when Zolli converted.

There was no vacancy and there was no question of Zolli replacing the well-respected and established incumbent.

You should quit making stuff up.
