Rabbi Abraham Zerbib, a judge on the Rabbinical Court, has been issued a formal warning instead of facing disciplinary proceedings for soliciting donations to a settlement youth fund. The Commissioner of Public Complaints, Asher Kola, determined that a complaint against Zerbib for violating ethics rules was justified. However, Kola decided to forgo recommending a disciplinary trial due to Zerbib's reserve military service, his "complete regret," and his commitment to cease all media and public appearances. The decision means the warning will be recorded in Zerbib's personal file. Commissioner Kola stated that if such conduct recurs, "there will be no escape" from full disciplinary measures against Rabbi Zerbib. The report on this matter was provided by Avi Chai Greenzweig for i24.
