Presence

The word around town last Shabbos was that R. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, Executive Vice President (and figurehead) of the OU is moving on, either to a newly created position within the OU or to new endeavors. I think I heard this was reported in one of the mainstream Jewish news sources, but I haven't been able to find anything online.

Update: I have heard that R. Weinreb's replacement is someone from Los Angeles named Rabbi Weil.

Update: On page 51 of the December 8, 2006 edition of The Jewish Press, the following was printed:

Beth Jacob Beverly Hills is another west coast shul searching for a new rabbi. Rabbi Steven Weil will be heading to New York to take over Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Weinreb's position as OU executive vice president.
