Israeli army rabbi under fire amid women's singing row(sic)
Chief IDF Rabbi Brigadier-General Rafi Peretz called on Lieutenant Colonel Ram Moshe Ravad to leave his post as Chief Rabbi of the Israel Air Force,
(the) decision comes a day after the IDF officially announced that it will not excuse religious soldiers from official army events that feature female soldiers singing.

The debate started following the refusal of a number of IDF soldiers to listen to a female soldier singing.
The debate continued with protests over the removal of images of women from advertisements and on buses in Jerusalem, disagreement on a public bus where women are forced to sit separately from men at the back of the vehicle, and a number of cases of segregation between the sexes in public places, such as at medical centers.
