April 12, 2022 13:44One of the UK’s most high-profile Orthodox rabbis is being lined up for the top job at a prestigious American congregation.
Rabbi Yitzchak Schochet, who has led Mill Hill United Synagogue for nearly 30 years, is understood to have been approached by Park East Synagogue in New York.
Founded in 1888, it has been led for more than 50 years by Rabbi Arthur Schneier, who is 91.
But it hit the headlines last year after its assistant rabbi was fired in what the New York Times described as a “synagogue feud”.
