Mordechai Peron

Mordechai Peron

Rabbi Mordechai Peron was the second Chief Military Rabbi in the history of the IDF, serving in that position during the years 19681977. His predecessor, Rabbi Shlomo Goren, created the position in 1948.

Rabbi Peron officiated at the wedding of Chanoch Langer, whose disputed legitimacy was settled in 1972 with "The Brother and Sister verdict" of Rabbi Goren as Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv, a years-long case that made front-page headlines in Israel.

Upon his 1977 retirement from his IDF position, Rabbi Peron relocated to serve as a rabbi in Zurich.
