RABBI Yaakov Glasman of St Kilda Hebrew Congregation has become Australia’s new “top rabbi”. He was elected as president of the Rabbinic Council of Australia and
New Zealand (RCANZ) at its first annual general meeting in Sydney last
week.
The body, representing more than 100 congregational rabbis, was established in the wake of last year’s Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, which saw the integrity of a number of senior spiritual leaders being questioned and led to calls for an overhaul of existing rabbinic structures, including the existing Organisation of Rabbis of Australasia.
