== Rabbinic Response and Political Aftermath ==
The Chief Rabbinate Council of Israel gathered to discuss the law and its implications, and in their assembly on 29th Iyar passed a series of resolutions, including prohibiting the registration of non-Jews who didn't convert according to halacha as Jews, the obligation to work to amend the law, and prohibiting religious representatives from participating in the government until the law was amended. Despite this, Mafdal, which saw itself as subordinate to the Chief Rabbinate, continued to sit in the government, and the Interior Minister, whose ministry was responsible for registering non-Jews as Jews, was a religious minister from the party. The Rebbe sharply criticized Mafdal's disobedience to the Rabbinate.
