Three rabbis will sit in the Court of Common Pleas at Hartford Tuesday to hear a suit for damages brought by Rabbi Morris Ungar of Bristol, near here, against Noah Seymon, also of Bristol, on charges of slander and assault.
Rabbi Ungar, formerly connected with Beth Israel Synagogue, Bristol, alleges Seymon told the congregation the rabbi lacked the education requisite for his position. Subsequently Rabbi Ungar was dismissed. He further accuses Seymon of attacking him.
