A few weeks ago I was in Mumbai, India, and literally met by chance the Chabbad Rabbi Israel Koslovsky, in the middle of the street of the busy Colaba Market, in South Mumbai.

We never met before. He walked towards me and said Shalom.

I said Shalom back and we started chatting.

He invited me to come with him to Chabad Centre, the Nariman Building that was one of the targets during the terror attack in Mumbai in November 2008.

He wanted to show me the center and the special memorial they built for all the 176 victims murdered in the attack including the Rabbi and his wife.

I interviewed the young Rabbi there and then and will bring you the interview today in Hebrew (Hebrew)

At opening of the 25th World Jewish LGBT+ Congress last week, I met a very special lady, Abby Stein. Abby is the first openly transgender woman raised in a Chassidic ultra-Orthodox community in NY.

Abby told me about her journey from a Chassidic boy who was married at 18 like everyone else in that community had a child but left the community.

First became secular and then came out of the closet. I will bring Abby’s interview to you this week in English.

The Sydney Beth Din, Orthodox Rabbinical court accused the Jewish Board of Deputies with having a history of effectively undermining the theological basis of Orthodoxy and Halacha law, after the Board voted to hold a review of the Beth Din, following the contempt of court judgement and very negative assessment of the Beth Din at the Supreme Court of Appeals.
