Cleveland Jewish News reporter Amanda Koehn covers the story of the arrest of a prominent Jewish community rabbi. Two Conservative Jewish associations called the allegations against Rabbi Stephen Weiss, the former senior rabbi at B’nai Jeshurun Congregation in Pepper Pike, “deeply disturbing” and are considering their own action in response.
He has allegedly been engaging in explicit online conversations with an undercover investigator posing as a 15-year-old boy. This has prompted several Jewish leaders to denounce the betrayal of trust between a rabbi and young members of his congregation.
