| | Why Did the Chief Rabbi of Rome Convert To Catholicism? -- Rabbi Tovia Singer Answers Your Questions |
| | I understand that the chief Rabbi of Rome, Rabbi Israel Zolli was a devout and serious Orthodox Jew as well as a learned scholar of the Talmud and of Semitic literature. | | | This is because Rabbi Israel Zoller’s apostasy to Catholicism had little to do with any spiritual conviction or theological satisfaction he found in the Roman church. | | | Rabbi Israel Zolli was the Chief Rabbi of Trieste for many years (35, I think) before coming to Rome. |

| | By the time Goren was appointed Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi in 1972, a status quo had evolved: Haram al-Sharif (Arabic for Temple Mount) for the Muslims and the Kotel Maaravi for the Jews. | | | The Chief Rabbinate appears in a number of proposals for the future status of Jerusalem, as a would-be member of a committee of the different religions which would administer the holy places. | | | Rabbi Eliahu quotes the verse from the Nachem prayer recited in the amidah of the afternoon service of Tisha B'Av: "The Lord said, 'I set Zion afire and I shall build her by fire.'" |

| | As Chief Rabbi of Rome during the Nazi occupation and persecution of Jews, Zolli, a keen observer of Roman life and a respected scholar, was uniquely positioned to know what both the Holy Father and the Nazis were saying and, most importantly, doing. | | | This is why the former Rabbi was able to say that he had not given up the Synagogue for the Church, that the one could not exist without the other. | | | The convert accepts a Jewish Messias who proved His mission was from God by doing the hundreds of things the prophet said he would do; chief among them His unquestionable and numerous miracles and His resurrection from the dead. |

| | Once upon a Talmudic time, rabbis (as opposed to High Priests) were elevated by their peers on the basis of spirit and learning rather than political maneuvering or beauty contests. | | | So Israel has appointed two Chief Rabbis for limited terms who in the main have spent as much time treading on each others toes as they have trying to bridge the gaps between religious and secular. | | | For them a rabbi of any sort has to prove his leadership based on knowledge and in some cases spiritual greatness. |
