Yaakov Ariel

Rabbi Yaakov Ariel ( _he. יעקב אריאל) is the 'chief rabbi' of the city of Ramat Gan, Israel and one of the leading rabbis of the religious Zionist movement. Ariel had served as the rosh yeshiva of the yeshiva in the abandoned Israeli settlement of Yamit in the Sinai desert until 1982 and is currently the president of the Ramat Gan Yeshiva (rosh yeshiva is Rabbi Yehoshua Shapira). He also served as the rabbi of Kfar Maimon for about 25 years. [http://www.torahmitzion.org/heb/publications/view.asp?id=64]

Born in Jerusalem, Rabbi Ariel learnt at the Bnei Akiva Yeshiva in Kfar HaRoeh, Midreshet Noam in Pardes Hana, and Mercaz HaRav in Jerusalem. At Mercaz HaRav, he was one of the most important students of Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda HaCohen Kook.

In 2003, Ariel was a leading candidate for the Israeli Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi. His brother, Rabbi Yisrael Ariel is the former chief rabbi of Yamit and founder of the Temple Institute. [ [http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/833145.html The Temple Mount is in his hands - Haaretz - Israel News ] ]
