  • Chief Rabbi Joseph Herman Hertz
    A Bridge across the Tigris: Chief Rabbi Joseph Herman Hertz Our Rabbis tell us that on the death of Abaye the bridge across the Tigris collapsed. A bridge serves to unite opposite shores; and so Abaye had united the opposing groups and conflicting parties of his time. Likewise Dr. Hertz’s personality was the bridge which served to unite different communities and bodies in this country and the Dominions into one common Jewish loyalty. —Dayan Yechezkel Abramsky: Eulogy for Chief Rabbi Hertz.[1] I At his death in 1946, Joseph Herman Hertz was the most celebrated rabbi in the world. He had been Chief Rabbi of the British Empire for 33 years, author or editor of several successful books, and champion of Jewish causes national and international. Even today, his edition of the Pentateuch, known as the Hertz Chumash, can be found in most centrist Orthodox synagogues, though it is often now outnumbered by other editions. His remarkable career grew out of three factors: a unique personality and capabilities; a particular background and education; and extraordinary times. Hertz was no superman; he had plenty of flaws and failings, but he made a massive contribution to Judaism and the Jewish People. Above all, Dayan Abramsky was right. Hertz was a bridge, who showed that a combination of old and new, tradition and modernity, Torah and worldly wisdom could generate a vibrant, authentic and enduring Judaism. Hertz was born in Rubrin, in what is now Slovakia on September 25, 1872.[2] His father, Simon, had studied with Rabbi Esriel Hisldesheimer at his seminary at Eisenstadt and was a teacher and grammarian as well as a plum farmer.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

  • Introduction 1
    Introduction 1 Introduction I try to imagine the twenty-three-year-old Dr Sally Daiches, as he was known in 1903, stepping on-board the ship that would take him to Britain. Did he board in Hamburg or Bremerhaven? Where did he alight? Dover, or Southampton, Hull or Grimsby? Or did he dock in Liverpool? His name is not to be found in the shipping lists I have consulted. I see him walking up to the office to complete the formalities preceding embarkation, his suitcase in one hand, his ticket in the other, also holding on to his hat which threatened to blow off and tumble on to the pier. In my mind, the image, though moving, is in the format of an old film reel, black-and-white, our rabbi-to-be and all other people on the pier are moving fast and in the somewhat unnatural way of early films. Salis’s face is obscured by the brim of his hat and by the hand which holds it so that I cannot make out his expression. What did he feel as he set foot on to the ship? Was he nervous and apprehensive? Or was he excited, full of hope for the future and calmly confident of a glittering career ahead of him? Perhaps all of these emotions coincided in the young man as he walked up to the large steamer which would deposit him in the south of England before travelling further west to New York. Did Salis travel alone or did his older brother Samuel accom- pany him? Were they perhaps with a group of friends all set to emigrate westwards? We are unlikely ever to know the answers to these questions.1 We do know, however, that Salis was part of a large number of young Jewish men who sought their fortune serving Jewish congregations in the anglo- phone world, men who left behind, at least geographically, the traditions of Eastern European Jewish life.

It has injected added vibrancy into the strong and energetic North West London community and I am delighted that it has now joined the United Synagogue. ! The kehilla has enjoyed an extraordinary year under the leadership of Rav Binyamin Tabory, but no community can rest on its past successes. Alei Tzion is clearly striving to consolidate and build. Their new Rav, Rabbi Avi Scharf will, I am sure, provide dynamic and inspirational leadership to the kehilla as it moved forward.

Abstract Using a case study from Dundee this article scrutinises historians’ assumptions about the nature of links between the major British-Jewish centres and ‘the periphery’. Utilising a cache of letters addressed to the Chief Rabbi concerning the provision of a trained Jewish butcher (shochet) in 1883, Abrams considers the Jewish community of Dundee in northeast Scotland as an example of Jews at a temporal, organisational, cultural and geographical frontier.

    The Synagogue & Community Life, March 2003 Royalty and the Jews The Jewish community in the United Kingdom has always taken Rabbi Chanina’s dictum to pray for the welfare of the ruling powers (Ethics of the Fathers 3:2) very seriously.
