The election for Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi has been delayed by a week after a tie in the first round of voting. Rabbi Micha Halevi and Rabbi Kalman Bar both received 40 votes, leading to a second round of voting next week. Rabbi Meir Kahana received 30 votes, Rabbi Moshe Chaim Lau received 23 votes, and Rabbi Eliezer Igra received 6 votes. The second round was expected to be held tonight but has been postponed to a later date.
