Ephraim Padwa
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Rabbi Ephraim Padwa is a senior haredi rabbi in London. He is rabbinical head of the Stamford Hill-based Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations. Padwa is an internationally regarded posek who was listed as the number 13 most influential Jew in the UK by the Jewish Chronicle. [1]
In 2005 Padwa was filmed by Dispatches telling an alleged abuse victim not to report his abuser to the police, citing the halachic prohibition of Mesirah.[2] Subsequently, a spokesman for Padwa doubted the credibility of the alleged victim, claiming the allegations had already been dismissed by social services as "malicious."[3]
