 | | The nascent Sanhedrin was established by Rabbi Dov Levanoni, who received ordination from Rabbi Moshe Halberstam, a leader of the Eda Haredis' Beis Din Zedek religious court. |
 | | The nascent Sanhedrin is not recognized by the Israeli government (although a ruling of a subordinate court of the Sanhedrin was consulted by a secular Israeli court) nor by the vast majority of Jews, regardless of their level of observance. |
 | | This point that was challenged by Rabbi Yisrael Ariel of the Temple Institute, who said that publicly opposing the expulsion and supporting those Jews expelled from Gaza and northern Samaria could not be referred to as political. |
