Among the issues yet to be resolved by the Zablo are the validity of R. Braun’s Smicha, as well as control of the Vaad Hakashrus, which for the time being will remain under the control of Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba.

In 1975 there was one large orthodox synagogue in Pico/Robertson and a handful of small ones. Today there are ten times as many congregations, large and small.

It’s hard to remember the last time Malmo had a rabbi that had stayed on for as long as Rabbi Shneur Kesselman has. Until 2004, when he and his wife arrived to serve as Chabad emissaries, the community had tried hiring rabbis from abroad. But that didn’t come easily, and most moved on after only a few years.
