  • Rabbi Lionel Blue Rabbi Lionel Blue Has Travelled on Trains, in Planes and on Hospital Trolleys
    Montague Library Books Synopsis ––– Rabbi Lionel Blue Best of Blue – Lionel Blue Lionel Blue’s Thought for the Day broadcasts continue to enchant and invigorate millions of listeners. Now in his mid-seventies, Lionel Blue has decided to present some of the very best of his writing for a wider public. Much of this – including articles from The Tablet and various lectures – has never been published in book form before. Best of Blue sparkles with Lionel Blue’s characteristic and idiosyncratic humour. It is through this that his profound wisdom has touched the hearts and minds of millions of appreciative listeners. In 1972, Lionel Blue was a little known Rabbi in London when he published his first book, To Heaven with Scribes and Pharisees . Many still consider this his best. The variety of books that followed was incredible – cookery books, compilations of Jewish Jokes. The Blue Guide to Eternity and Jewish Prayer Books for High Days and Holy Days (the last two written with Rabbi Jonathan Magoner). The whole range of his writing is represented in this charming new collection. Bolts from the Blue by Rabbi Lionel Blue A SUNDAY ROAST that looks like grey polystyrene, a bearded bride, a dog with an existential problem, a whisky-drinking nun. A Tom Sharpe novel? No, the world of Lionel Blue, a world grounded very firmly in reality. No respecter of false piety. Rabbi Blue shows how we can piece together the scriptures of our lives not just in synagogues and churches, but in bus queues, waiting rooms and airports. Using his own experiences, Rabbi Blue has produced in Bolts From The Blue a selection of stories, incidents and conversations whose dotty inconsequential flavour he believes has the hallmark of ordinary life.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs w3 UPERFICIALLY, THE OVERALL PICTURE of a country dominated by the Conservatives remained unchanged throughout 1988. This was reflected, for exam- ple, in the relative tranquility of the labor front, where there were fewer strikes than in any year since the end of World War II. Yet there were also signs of a shift in attitudes among Conservatives themselves, away from uncritical endorsement of the government's general policy and toward a measure of sympathy with the Labor opposition. The government's plans for the privatization of the water and electricity industries came under criticism from within its own ranks. There was also a massive revolt of Tory members of Parlia- ment against the government's new regressive tax, the "community charge," also known as the "poll tax," on which issue the normal Conservative majority dropped from 101 to a mere 25. But perhaps the most severe blow to Tory self-confidence came on the economic front. The chancellor's budget, issued in March, cut income tax by twopence on the pound. This, together with interest-rate cuts following the crash of October 1987, encouraged consumer demand; in the first nine months of the year economic growth was running at an annual 5 percent. This proved unsustainable, however; the budget and Tory economic policy in general lost their shine when interest rates had to be increased nine times in the last seven months of the year as a means to cope with a renewal of inflation and growing trade and balance-of-payments deficits.

The contributions they have made and the difficulties they have faced are outlined. The second part of the book, "The Contributions of Britain's Ethnic Minorities," focuses on the 50 years since the end of World War II through a selection of "snapshots" of key areas of society where immigration and ethnic diversity have enriched life in Britain. The final section, "Roots of the Future," emphasizes the importance of recognizing ethnic diversity in planning for Britain's future. A list of key dates in British history is included.

  • Rabbi Lionel Blue Date of Interview: 12.04.13 Transcriber: Anna Barker
    Interviewer: Sharon Rapaport Interviewee: Rabbi Lionel Blue Date of interview: 12.04.13 Transcriber: Anna Barker SR: Ok, I’m interviewing Rabbi Lionel Blue on the 12th April 2013 in his home in London. My name is Sharon Rapaport. Rabbi Blue, I want to start by thanking you for taking part in Rainbow Jews. I would like to start the interview by you telling me when you were born, and where were you born. RLB: Yeah, well I was born in London, from British-born parents but Russian grandparents and they wanted to get to America but never made it. They got stuck in London instead. Um…I was born in the Salvation Army Hospital in Hackney in East London. My father was a tailor. My mother was a secretary. My father was out of work for many years when I was a kid, so my mother had to support the family, which caused a lot of trouble. There you are. SR: Your parents’ background, you started saying, could you tell me a bit more about your parents’ background, from where did your mother come? RLB: My mother was born in London, so was my father. My father was a terrific chap, he was…he was very physical, he wanted, his great dream was of leaving the seamy factories of London, East London, where he was a tailor, and become a gardener instead, but he never made it. My mother was very conscious that he was unemployed for many years, my mother had to keep the family, which broke his pride.
