As Senior Rabbinic Coordinator, Rabbi Simon responds to the halachik questions of shomrim and caterers at all times of day and night. He produces a periodic newsletter for shomrim, and works side by side with Rabbi Conway and the Dayanim to formulate policies for the KLBD.
To ensure smooth running of functions, Rabbi Simon visits many of the events inside and outside of London. In this way he can personally observe the operations, and provide support for the shomrim, who must work long and sometimes lonely hours.
Rabbi Simon has produced an updated kashrut manual for the use of shomrim and is in the process of producing a Shabbat Manual.
Born in West Lafayette Indiana, USA. Rabbi Hillel Simon studied at Lubavitch Yeshivot in New York, and Telshe Yeshiva in Chicago, later receiving smicha and kabbala for shechita from Rabbi Yeruslavski Shlita of Kiryat Malachi, and smicha for Rabbanut and Dayanut from Rabbi Yisroel Piekarski obm of New York.
Rabbi Simon spent two years in advanced Rabbinic studies and outreach with Lubavitch of Leeds. He later served as Rabbi to the Bristol Hebrew Congregation and NJCB Chaplain to campuses in the west of England and Wales. He joined the Kashrut division while assisting the Hadley Wood and Saatchi communities and now resides with his family in Finchley.
