After serving in the rabbinical courts and appointed as a member of the Great Court in London at the age of 37, the Dayan, Rabbi Avraham Avraham, announced suddenly on Saturday that he resigned from the Bais Din and his Kehillah but did not explain the reason behind the resignation.
It was very sudden, and we have no idea why," said a senior London rabbi whose name was not published to the British Jewish Chronicle website.
Chief Justice Rabbi Menachem Galai said after the surprising resignation: "The London court supports you and your communities and your friends, so I want to reassure you that the preparations are already underway to ensure that Dayan at a high level will be found alongside the other distinguished judges."
"It is a sense of responsibility and sadness that I declare today that I am resigning from the Court of London, the Beit Din is the pillar of our community and it was a great honor and privilege to serve as Dayan for the last 17 years," said Rabbi Yonatan Avraham,
Harav Avraham studied in Gateshead, Lakewood, New Jersey and Jerusalem. He had previously lived in Australia, where he served for three years as a judge at the Rabbinical Court in Melbourne.
