Australia’s most senior rabbi – who called a pedophile victim’s father ‘a lunatic’ during the child abuse royal commission – has resigned.
Rabbi Meir Shlomo Kluwgant resigned as the General Manager of Cultural and Spiritual services at Jewish Care Victoria on Monday.
He also reportedly resigned his position as president of the Organisation of Rabbis Australia.
Rabbi Kluwgant had attacked Zephaniah Waks while he gave evidence about the abuse of his son Manny at the Yeshivah Centre in Melbourne.
Rabbi Kluwgant sent an SMS to a Jewish journalist while Mr Waks was giving evidence.
