Hiddush director slams salary increase for rabbis

Rabbi Uri Regev, director of religious freedom advocacy group Hiddush, slammed the Treasury's decision to raise the salaries of city and neighborhood rabbis.
Calling the raise "scandalous," Regev asserted in a statement that the increase is an example of cronyism among haredi (ultra-orthodox) parties that will come at the expense of tax paying citizens.
