French chief rabbi quits in plagiarism case

PARIS, April 11 (Reuters) – France’s Chief Rabbi Gilles
Bernheim, until recently the moral voice of the country’s Jewish
community, stepped down on Thursday after admitting plagiarism
in two books and deception about his academic credentials.

Bernheim, 60, submitted his resignation and apologies at an
emergency leadership meeting of the Central Consistory, the top
Jewish religious authority, after initially trying to hold on to
his post despite acknowledging his faults.
