The Chief Rabbinate announced Wednesday that Yehuda Rosilio, the former rabbi of Moshav Brosh in southern Israel, would be stripped of his honorific due to his conviction of the theft of Torah scrolls from his own community.
Rosilio was convicted last week.
The rabbinate said the move indicated a new policy to strip the title of any rabbi proved guilty of a crime.
Rosilio was convicted of stealing seven Torah scrolls from his synagogue and replacing them with rolls of paper and cardboard during Simchat Torah celebrations last year.
