Top Rabbi Says Jewish law Forbids Renting Houses to Arabs
By Nadav Shragai
The chairman of the Yesha rabbinical council and chief
rabbi of Kiryat Arba, Rabbi Dov Lior, on Wednesday issued
a halakhic ruling stating that it is forbidden by Jewish
law to employ Arabs or rent homes to them.
In an interview published by "Eretz Israel Shelanu" (Our
Land of Israel), to be distributed this Saturday in various
synagogues, Lior said that "since this is a matter of
endangering souls, it is clear that it is completely
forbidden to employ them and rent houses to them in Israel.
Their employment is forbidden not only at yeshivas, but at
factories, hotels and everywhere."
In the interview, Rabbi Lior backed the decision made by
the administration of the Mercaz Harav yeshiva in Jerusalem
to prevent Prime Minister Ehud Olmert from visiting the
school after an Israeli Arab terrorist killed eight
students there two weeks ago. "How can you welcome a man
who acts against our holy Torah and continues to lead the
people of Israel toward great danger?" Lior said.
"They were right in refusing to welcome such a personality
in the yeshiva's halls," he added.

Rabbi Lior criticized the rabbis who didn't obey Rabbi
Abraham Shapira, who instructed Jewish soldiers to refuse
orders during the 2005 withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. "If
the public had ignored the so-called "rabbis" who came out
against these instructions, we may very well have spared
the great pain [of the disengagement] from the people of
Israel," he said.
Recently, several rabbis led by Rabbi Lior have issued a
precedent setting halakhic ruling that Israel must shoot
civilian populations in areas from whence attacks on Jewish
communities originate.
Attorney Einat Horvitz from the Religious Action Center of
Reform Judaism said in response to the interview that "we
view with great concern the wave of calls against Arabs
since the terrible terror attack. This is an ever growing
phenomenon of racist incitement that distorts Judaism and
is also illegal. We call upon the attorney general to shake
off his apathy and take action to enforce the laws that
prohibit these calls."
