The blunt blustery Levovitz resigned as the school board president after losing a parents vote on Harkham’s bylaws last Spring. But his people are still in place and Leovivitz still runs things behind the scenes. He has regular meetings with Hillel’s dean Rabbi Baruch Sufrin.
Over the past nine months, dissenters at Hillel have been brought into the process of governing the school.
Michael Fallas is the current president of Hillel’s board, but he’s president in name only.
Levovitz and Sufrin retain the support of Beth Jacob’s ruling rabbi Steven Weil.
