Moss and Feldman Make Peace in Sydney
Kesser Torah College and the Yeshiva Centre of Sydney, led by Meir Moss and Rabbi Pinchus Feldman, respectively, are at peace for the first time in more than eight years.
Last week, the ongoing legal proceedings in the Supreme Court of NSW were dismissed upon the request of both parties.
They have now released a joint statement to open a new chapter of goodwill and respect between Sydney’s largest Chabad institutions.
“KTC recognises the immense contribution that The Yeshiva Centre and the Chabad movement have made for Sydney Jewry over the last 40 years under the inspired leadership of Rabbi Pinchus and Rebbetzin Pnina Feldman,” the statement – cosigned by Yeshiva spiritual leader Rabbi Pinchus Feldman and Kesser Torah College president Meir Moss – said.
“TheYeshiva Centre acknowledges and pays tribute to the hard work and commitment of the management of Kesser Torah College for the last eight years in keeping the school operational.
“The parties have agreed to leave all outstanding grievances in the past and to move forward in a spirit of friendship.”
The representatives of both sides said they were grateful to Rabbi Yosef Feldman and Rabbi Michoel Gourarie for their tireless efforts over an extended period in facilitating this peace agreement.
According to the Australian Jewish News, the dispute began when Yeshiva College’s property in Dover Heights – now the site of fellow Orthodox Jewish school KTC – was given to Blake Napier Limited in 2003. Part of the agreement included Blake Napier Limited, which helped found KTC, paying the outstanding tax bill.
However, it is believed there was a condition that Rabbi Pinchus Feldman not set up a new Jewish school, in a bid to give KTC a chance to grow.
The dispute revolved around the establishment of Yeshiva College, in Bondi, which was registered in 2007.
Both parties have now agreed to put their differences behind them and work together for the good of the community.

chabad
thank god some people know how to work things out…be it gods will that the rest of the fighting parties of lubavitch learn from this and follow this amazing example
Truth
Braun Left Australia……. does take a genius to see who was behind the differences and the cause of it …….
ask Moss and Feldmen see if its true……….
Now the CH only has more problems since he came.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
What did Rabbi Braun have to do with anything? Moss took over the school 8 years ago and agreed to take on some of the Feldmans debt. The condition was as long as they dont open a school in competition. Feldmans found a way out of it saying it wasnt them who opened the school etc etc Moss said he is not paying the debt. They went to Din Torah courts etc and last week decided to move on. What did Braun have to do with it?????
If you call this ACHDUS we are all in trouble.
