Rabba Dr Taylor-Guthartz’s exit from LSJS triggered a storm across the Jewish world. Hampstead Synagoge’s Rabbi Dr Michael Harris resigned from the school in protest while Orthodox figures across America spoke out in support of the LSJS president, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, who made clear her ordination meant it was impossible for her to continue with a formal role at an Orthodox institution.
