The Chief Rabbi Vacancy
March 16, 2012 by J-Wire
With regard to the issue of no advertisment for the position of Chief Rabbi appearing in the Australian Jewish press, The Executive of the RCNSW endorse the stated view of ORA President Rabbi Moshe Gutnick. We do not believe any snub was intended. The impending retirement of Rabbi Lord Sacks was well known throughout Australian Jewry thanks in part to extensive AJN coverage and therefore all rabbis would have known of the vacancy and were at liberty to apply. The statement of the AJN does not represent the opinion of the Rabbinate.
Rabbi Y. Ulman
President: Rabbinical Council of NSW
