A man from Hackney was arrested last Thursday over allegations of harassing one of the rabbis who has opposed Golders Green rabbi, Chaim Halpern.

Barnet police said that the 28-year-old has been bailed to return to a north London police station in March.

Rabbi Halpern, leader of the Divrei Chaim Synagogue, has been at the centre of a controversy that has raged across London’s Charedi community over the past three months.

The row follows allegations that he sexually abused women in marriage counselling sessions.
