Three more leading Charedi rabbis have declared their intention to boycott the JW3 centre in London because of its activities supporting LGBT Jews.
Rabbi Shraga Feivel Zimmerman, the Gateshead Rav; Rabbi Avrohom Gurwicz, head of the Gateshead Yeshivah; and Dayan Gavriel Krausz, head of the Manchester Beth Din, endorsed a call by the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations for members to distance themselves from JW3 as it “promotes a way of life which is in total contradiction to Orthodox Judaism and halachah”. Dayan Krausz signed in a personal capacity.
Their names appeared on a notice published in the Jewish Tribune, an Orthodox weekly newspaper, alongside a reprint of a letter from November signed by more than 20 London rabbis expressing similar sentiments.
Among the signatories of the letter, was Dayan Abraham David, a member of the Sephardi Beth Din, which licenses Zest, the kosher restaurant at JW3.
