Kotel Da-Don

Kotel Dadon (Hebrew: כותל דדון; born December 12, 1967) is a Croatian rabbi of the Bet Israel community in Zagreb.

[4] This position had been vacant for more than fifty years, as there were no rabbis in Croatia since Dadon's predecessor Miroslav Šalom Freiberger died as a victim of the Holocaust in 1943.

[6] Dadon held that position until 2006, when the council of the Jewish Community in Zagreb refused to extend his contract, and instead appointed new rabbi Zvi Eliezer Alonie.

Da-Don filed a lawsuit at the municipal court in Zagreb, where he sought his return to the position of chief rabbi, with the salary of 15,000 HRK.

[8] Bet Israel was officially recognized on 21 July 2006 by the European rabbinical conference, and that same year Ivo Goldstein was elected as their first president.

[9] Relations between the two Jewish communities in Zagreb have remained strained, primarily due to unresolved property issues.
