Earlier this week (May 31, 2022) peak UK organization, the Board of Deputies of British Jews announced on Twitter that it was suspending its cooperation with the European Jewish Congress “due to concerns about how the Congress is handling misconduct complaints.” According to reliable sources this action grows out of reports about Chief Rabbi of Ukraine, Yaakov Bleich, sexually abusing of girls and women.
Top leadership at the Board of Deputies conducted inquiries. Apparently, the EJC response to such concerns, or lack of response is what triggered this action and public announcement.
At the time of the announcement, Bleich was on the EJC’s executive committee as treasurer.


Bleich et al should have been destroyed decades ago.
Same issues always. Bleich has been on my radar for long time. Wondered and wondered,,,,,how long….
bit by bit he is losing stature but believe me it frustrate me to no end.
Disgusting for a man who calls himself a Rabbi to behave in this way
