Center for Commemorating the Memory of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov Bill

What does the bill do?

The bill provides for the establishment of a center whose role is to commemorate the figure, thought, teachings and work of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, and to teach his values. The center will be a statutory corporation comprising a museum, a research institute and a public archive. The center will be run by a director general and a nine-member council: three civil servants, three public representatives with expertise in the subject (at least one of them an academic), and three representatives of bodies active in the field. The council will set policy, approve budgets and annual work plans, and oversee the director. A council member will not receive a salary but will be entitled to payment for attending meetings or reimbursement of expenses, in accordance with the decisions of the committee for the classification of statutory corporations.
