 The two United Torah Judaism MKs (Uri Maklev and Moshe Gafni) had paid a visit to the Slonim rabbi, who lives in that neighborhood, and then entered a synagogue to pray.When they emerged, they were set upon by young extremists from Neturei Karta who spat at them and assaulted them with stones, blows, and a chair.In 2014, Maklev publicly came to the defense of MK David Rotem, who, as head of the Knesset Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee, was understood to say that Reform Judaism was not Judaism, but rather, a different religion.
