FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Rabbi Michoel Green was dismissed as a Chabad-Lubavitch representative serving Westborough, MA.

Unfortunately, Rabbi Green’s activities and statements are contrary to the organization’s mission and a direct conflict with the sacred task for which he was appointed. Some of his public pronouncements were extremely reckless and potentially dangerous, and he has repeatedly been hostile and offensive to those who did not agree with him.

We were hopeful that this could somehow be resolved and that we all would be able to return our energies to our communal responsibilities. Over time and especially after the rabbi received multiple warnings, it became clear that dismissal was our only choice. This was not an easy decision to make, nor was it taken lightly.

We wish Rabbi Green and the entire Green family only the best going forward.

Rabbi Mendel Fogelman

Director, Central Mass Chabad
