The position of outspoken Sephardi rabbi Aharon Bassous remains unclear after he reportedly announced that he would be leaving his congregation.
At the end of his Shabbat sermon at Beit Hamedrash Knesset Yehezkel in Golders Green, Rabbi Bassous said he would be going after Succot, according to local sources.
But other sources have since suggested that the rabbi is expected to stay.
Dean Cohen, a trustee of the congregation, said on Sunday that he had not heard the sermon and not had a chance to discuss the matter with Rabbi Bassous. However, “I do understand that the rabbi did announce his resignation yesterday”.
