The new chief rabbis of Israel have a historic opportunity to address the erosion of trust in the rabbinate and reverse the marginalization of Judaism within Israeli society. They should follow the example of Archbishop Justin Welby, who resigned due to the Church of England's failure to address historical cases of sexual abuse. The chief rabbis must confront issues such as religious coercion, corruption, and the rabbinate's struggle to adapt to Israel's changing demographics. They must take responsibility for past failures and chart a more inclusive and accountable future for the rabbinate.
