Rabbi Louis Sachs speaks out about being sued by his former synagogue in Toronto

JL;DR SUMMARY Rabbi Louis Sachs faces a $750,000 lawsuit from his former synagogue, Beth Torah, over allegations of breach of contract after leaving for Beth Sholom. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
