SHANNON DEERY HERALD SUN FEBRUARY 16, 2015
AUSTRALIA’s most senior rabbi has stepped down just days after he admitted intimidating and vilifying victims of child sexual abuse.
Meir Shlomo Kluwgant this morning resigned as president of the Organisation of Rabbis of Australasia, less than 12 months after he was elevated to the role.
Now the Herald Sun can reveal Rabbi Kluwgant has also lost his position on Victoria Police’s Multi-Faith Advisory Committee, a position he has held since 2011.
The former long-serving police chaplain now has no ties to Victoria Police.
There is now mounting pressure for Rabbi Kluwgant to be stood down from his role with community services organisation Jewish Care.
