What were the religious ideologies of Britain’s Chief Rabbis from Nathan Adler to Immanuel Jakobovits and how did it affect their policies? In a provocative three-part course, Dr Elton sets out a new interpretation of the Jacobs affair and puts it in the context of the Jewish response to modernity.
Dr Benjamin Elton is Honorary Research Fellow at the London School of Jewish Studies. His PhD thesis was recently published as Britain’s Chief Rabbis and the Religious Character of Anglo-Jewry 1880-1970. He is an official at the Judicial Appointments Commission and the editor of Degel, the journal of the Alei Tzion community at LSJS.
