Rabbi known as 'Hinoka' (the Infant) filed an ex parte request for a protection order at the Rishon LeZion court Thursday evening, seeking to bar his prominent opponent Israel Friedlis from publishing about him online. The request cites a recording Friedlis published last month that the rabbi says depicts him in a negative light, as well as subsequent posts. The court has not yet ruled on the motion.
The rabbi, known as 'Hinoka' (the Infant) in Hebrew, is a well-known figure in the religious-Zionist community. Israel Friedlis is a prominent critic who has published material against the rabbi over time. The recording in question, published last month, is cited in the complaint as portraying the rabbi in a negative context. The court will now decide whether to issue a temporary protection order. The case reflects ongoing tensions between the rabbi and his online detractors.
