 Controversy erupted again in 2013 when newly elected Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis announced his decision to attend.Subsequently, a public notice signed by seven leading Orthodox rabbis including Dayan Chanoch Ehrentreu and Rabbi Avrohom Gurwicz was published in the "Jewish Tribune", highly critical of pluralism and urged "God-fearing Jews" not to participate in Limmud.This sparked condemnation by non-Charedi communal leaders, with Jewish Leadership Council chairman Mick Davis, Board of Deputies president Vivian Wineman and United Synagogue president Stephen Pack writing to "The Jewish Chronicle" describing the statement as showing "a shocking failure of leadership".
