Controversy has continued to rage over the views of the senior rabbi of the S&P Sephardi Community, Rabbi Joseph Dweck, on gay love.
A letter condemning him, which purports to come from the Sephardi Chief Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef, has surfaced on social media although it did not refer to Rabbi Dweck by name.
Dated last week, it was written in response to a number of American rabbis seeking to enlist the Chief Rabbi’s support in the campaign against Rabbi Dweck.
Rabbi Yosef, the son of the late Rav Ovadia Yosef, who was regarded as the most influential Sephardi rabbi of his day, is the uncle of Rabbi Dweck’s wife, Margalit.
