Rabbi Shlomo Meir Shlomo Kluwgant has resigned his presidency of the Organisation of Rabbis of Australasia.
Following his appearance at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse
In an email Rabbi Kluwgant wrote:
“As you know I have served in leadership positions for over two decades, and as President of ORA since May last year. I am humbled by your faith me, and I have always considered it an honour and a privilege.
In light of what has transpired the Royal Commission I have decided to step down from my position as President of ORA, effective immediately.
I believe this decision to be in the best interest of victims who have contacted me and advised that my standing down would be helpful to them in their healing process.
I have always had the best interests of the individual and the community at heart, and my track record speaks for itself.
