The scion of a highly respected Jewish family from Morocco came to Israel in 1949 when his father, the well-known Rabbi Yisrael Abuhatzeira, also known as Baba Sali , left Morocco with his family after the independence of the State of Israel . His father later became chief rabbi of Ramla , where Aharon Abuchazira grew up. He attended a yeshiva and then studied history and Hebrew literature at Bar Ilan University . After that he worked as a teacher.
Political career
In 1969 his political career began in the National Religious Party (NRP or Mafdal ) and Aharon Abuchazira was first elected to the city council of Ramla, where he held the office of mayor from 1972 to 1977. In the elections to the 8th Knesset held on December 31, 1973 , which lasted from January 21, 1974 to June 13, 1977, he ran for the National Religious Party, the third largest faction with 10 seats. In the subsequent 9th Knesset (June 13, 1977 to July 20, 1981), the NRP participated in the coalition government under Menahem Begin ( Likud ) and received two ministries: the Ministry of Internal Affairs , which Josef Burg had already been in the previous government and the Ministry of Religion , of which Aharon Abuchazira became the new head. His term of office lasted from June 20, 1977 to August 5, 1981. In the summer of 1980 there were newspaper reports in Israel that there had been financial irregularities in the ministry, on September 28, Abuchazira was questioned, and on December 2, 1980, was heard formally charged against him. The charges included taking bribes and misusing funds for private and his party's purposes. The Israeli attorney general, Yitzhak Zamir, applied to the Knesset for the lifting of parliamentary immunity , which parliament granted on January 16, 1981.
During his parliamentary career, Abuchazira was a member of several committees, including that of Education and Culture (8th Knesset), Finance (10th to 12th Knesset) and the Constitution, Legislation and Justice (12th Knesset). He was not a member of any committee in the 9th Knesset.
