Chief Rabbi Complains at Turkish Prevarication - 'Rabbi Haleva's seven-year term of office expired last autumn, but elections could not be held because of a row between the Turkish authorities and the community over the official title of the post. The authorities refused, for reasons that were never explained, to allow the next holder of the post to be called "Chief rabbi of Turkey", and insisted instead on simply "Chief rabbi". A compromise was eventually reached in which the post-holder would be called "Chief rabbi of Turkish Jews"...' [Islamists on the march.]
