O.U. Leader Being Pushed Out

O.U. Leader Being Pushed Out

The country’s largest Orthodox organization has begun searching for a new chief executive, despite the fact that the man currently filling the role has no desire to step down. "Obviously, a decision was made either not to renew my contract, or to reconsider my role at the organization," said the current executive vice president of the Orthodox Union, Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb. "All I can really say is that I have a contract that expires in 2008, and I intend to serve to the best of my ability up until that point." …One likely candidate with an MBA is Rabbi Steven Weil, the young chief rabbi at the largest Orthodox synagogue in Los Angeles. The Jewish Press recently ran a brief item claiming that Weil already had been chosen for the O.U. position. Savitsky said that the report had "absolutely no merit."
