News Agency Interviews Israel's Chief Military Chaplain

South Korea's Yonhap News Agency today carries an interview with the Chief Rabbi of the Israel Defense Force who was in Seoul to attend an international chaplains' forum. Brig. Gen. Avi Ronzki told the interviewer that getting an appointment as a chaplain in the IDF is not easy. This year, over 200 rabbis applied, but only 17 were chosen. A total of 150 rabbis are in active service with the IDF as chaplains.
