Member of Knesset Rabbi Moshe Gafni from the haredi United Torah Judaism Party is furious that the Ministry of Religious Services has allowed the cost of using state-funded mikvas (ritual baths) to continue to increase, Yeshiva World reported.
The cost of using a men’s mikva in Jerusalem was recently increased by 30% and a similar price hike was made less than a year ago.
Gafni claims Deputy Minister of Religious Services Rabbi Eli Ben Dahan promised to reduce the cost of using mikvas but then failed to keep that promise.
Gafni wants an explanation from Ben Dahan and a price rollback.
