Rabbi Avraham Glick

Rabbi Abraham Glick has resigned from his teaching position at Melbourne’s Yeshivah College.

Rabbi Glick gave evidence at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse .

However, he remains spiritual head of the Yeshivah Centre’s Vaad Ruchni.

Rabbi Glick had been principal of the Yeshivah College between 1986 and 2007. Both David Kramer and David Cyprys, convicted child molesters, committed offences while working at College when Rabbi Glick was principal.

A prominent member of Melbourne’s Jewish community told me that a planned visit to the Yeshivah Centre bu Israel’s Chief Rabbi Lau has been “postponed”.
