Avichai Rontzki ((ヘブライ語:אביחי רונצקי)), born October 10, 1951, is the former Chief Military Rabbi of the Israel Defense Forces. He served in the position from 2006 to 2010, with a rank of Brigadier General. His predecessor in that position was Rabbi Israel Weiss. Rontzki is also the rosh yeshiva of the Hesder Yeshiva in the West Bank settlement Itamar. His four years in office have led to several controversies. Some of his statements have upset not only secular Israelis, but have led many organizations outside of Israel to accuse him of inciting terrorism. == Biography == Rontzki was born to a non-religious Jewish family and studied at the Hebrew Reali School in Haifa.〔 He became religious while serving in the army. In 1969, he began is military career in Shayetet 13 but did not complete the training instead moving to Sayeret Shaked in which he fought as a company commander in the Yom Kippur War. During this time, he began a process of repentance with his wife Ronit who he had met in his unit. Rontzki studied at Machon Meir and Mercaz HaRav and also was involved with instructing street kids in Jerusalem. In 1980, he established the ''Hesder Yeshiva'' in Elon Moreh. In 1984, he was part of the group that established the settlement Itamar near Nablus and also initiated the local yeshiva that he still leads today. Rontzki wrote the well known four volume army halakhic guide ''Hitzim K'yad Gibor''. In addition to his rosh yeshiva position, he continued to serve in the reserves and rose in rank to the position of chief of staff of the Samaria Territorial Brigade ((ヘブライ語:חטיבה מרחבית שומרון)). After being offered the position of Chief Military Rabbi, many advised him to decline due to the Military Rabbinate collaboration with Israel's unilateral disengagement plan of which the military played a primary part. After assuming command of the Chief Rabbinate in 2006, Rontzki executed a mini-revolution in the command. In addition to the traditional rabbinate activities of kitchen kosher certification and religious services for religious soldiers, Rontzki expanded the mandate to include a much more active role in the army, including increasing the number of battalion rabbis.〔
In December 2014, after it became clear that the Knesset's coalition would dissolve and new elections would be called, Rontzi announced he expected to run in the primaries for Bayit Yehudi's list.〔"Azulay, Moran 'Former Chief IDF Rabbi to run in Bayit Yehudi primaries: Months after being dismissed following accusations of passing classified information to Naftali Bennett, rabbi wants to be on Bennett's list for Knesset.'
