The Riverdale Jewish Center board and its embattled Rabbi, Jonathan Rosenblatt, have reached an agreement about his departure from the synagogue he has served more than 30 years.
Pending approval by a vote of the membership scheduled for March 17, Rabbi Rosenblatt will step down from his pulpit and become a private citizen, with no title, according to Meyer Koplow, the rabbi’s attorney.
“The desire is for him to remain in the community and remain accessible to those in the congregation who wish to use his services,” Koplow told The Jewish Week.
As a life member of RJC, the rabbi may be called on by individuals to officiate at lifecycle events or deliver a shiur (lecture).
