Rabbis at the royal commission

WHAT RABBIS HAVE TOLD THE ROYAL COMMISSION INTO INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSES TO CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE.

Rabbi Yosef Feldman, Director on the Board of Management of The Yeshiva Centre in Sydney

* Resigned after saying he did not know that an adult touching a child's genitals was a crime when told of an abuse allegation in 2012.

Rabbi Zvi Telsner, spiritual leader of Melbourne Yeshivah Centre

* Believes pedophiles and gay people can be "cured".

Rabbi Yaakov Glasman, former president of the Rabbinical Council of Victoria

* "It would be an understatement to say that we are deeply disturbed by some of the comments that had been made by rabbis in this very box ... comments which I know the overwhelming majority of rabbinate distance themselves from emphatically."

Rabbi Abraham Glick, Yeshivah College principal when most of the students were abused

* "I actually feel sickened by it ... We should have been more vigilant, we should have responded better."

Rabbi Moshe Gutnick, now an advocate for child abuse victims

* "To suggest that there is some religious obligation not to do so is an abomination."
