Hasmonean writes to parents about fallout from Dayan Abraham resignation

The principal of Hasmonean High School has written to parents to offer advice on the fallout from the resignation of Dayan Yonason Abraham from the London Beth Din.

Rabbi Jeremy Golker said it was “clearly a very difficult time for all and many of our students and their families were very close to the dayan and will take this badly”.

Dayan Abraham also resigned from his synagogue in Hendon at the end of last week, acknowledging he had “fallen short of the standards expected of me”.

Rabbi Golker said it was “important to acknowledge when mistakes have been made. The dayan himself wrote to his community to communicate this”.
