Rabbi Dr Louis Jacobs, z"l

Sadly, Rabbi Dr Louis Jacobs passed away on Shabbat 5th Tammuz 5766 ~ Saturday, 1st July 2006.

Rabbi Dr Louis Jacobs was one of the world's most distinguished rabbinic scholars and authors- He had written over fifty books and was widely acknowledged to be one of the world’s greatest authorities on all major aspects of Jewish Studies including Mishnah, Talmud, Midrash, Responsa, Liturgy, Hasidism, Mysticism, Kabbalah, Philosophy and Theology.

For almost 40 years Rabbi Jacobs served New London Synagogue, which he founded with brilliance and distinction. This gave rise to The Masorti Movement which has grown into a dynamic movement built on his theology and teachings.

In December 2005, a Jewish Chronicle poll in which 2000 readers took part voted Rabbi Jacobs the greatest British Jew in the community's 350-year history in England.
