Chief Rabbi of Israel, Kalman Bar, is seeking to travel abroad for a visit to Jewish communities in Brazil and Argentina, but his request has been denied by Yariv Levin, the Minister for Religious Services. The trip, scheduled to begin on Tuesday and funded by the host communities, requires the minister's approval. Levin is refusing to sign off on the travel because Rabbi Bar intends to extend his visit to Argentina, which would mean he would not be in Israel on election day next week.
