Shloime Sinitsky has resigned as the chairman of Kedassia, the kashrus division of the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations, the umbrella body for strictly Orthodox shuls.
According to the If You Tickle Us blog, which covers the UK Charedi community, Mr Sinitsky’s resignation is the result of divisions within the senior ranks of communal representative bodies.
Rabbi Avraham Pinter, the principal of the Yesodey Hatorah schools and an ally of Mr Sinitsky’s, said he has a “combination of unique qualities” which made him “irreplaceable” as the Kedassia chairman.
Rabbi Pinter added: “I support him one million per cent.”
