Rabbi Ephraim Padwa, the most senior Ashkenazi haredi rabbi in London, was reportedly rushed to a hospital there after collapsing at a wedding.
The 75-year-old rabbi lost consciousness and may also have been exhibiting signs of extreme confusion. The collapse was called a “syncopal episode” by Yeshiva World.
There is no further word at this time on Padwa’s condition.
Padwa was videotaped earlier this year telling an alleged victim of child sexual abuse not to report the crimes to police.
