Australian rabbis support letter for Beth: The world wide protest against Michael Schlesinger grows stronger

As published on the Daas Torah blog.

8 September 2015

To whom it may concern,

I have read through the various pieces of information regarding Beth Alexander’s case and stand with Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth, and my colleagues in Australia;

Rabbi James Kennard, Principal - Mount Scopus Memorial College
Rabbi Ralph Genende, Rabbi - Caufield Hebrew Congregation
Rabbi Daniel Rabin, Rabbi - North Eastern Jewish Centre
Rabbi Shmuel Karnowsky, Rabbi - Elwood Shule
Rabbi Yaakov Glassman, Rabbi - St Kilda Hebrew Congregation
Rabbi Ian Goodhardt, Rabbi - Blake Street Hebrew Congregation

I join numerous colleagues worldwide, and hope that we see a positive resolution to this conflict as speedily as possible,

May Beth, her family, and all of her supporters have a kesiva v’chasima tova, be written and sealed for good,

And may all the Jewish people know only besorot tovot,

Shanah tova,


Rabbi Alon Meltzer
ACT Jewish Community Inc.
