Chief Rabbi Joseph Herman Hertz (1872-1946), perhaps Britain's greatest Chief Rabbi, led his community through two World Wars and was instrumental in the rescue of Jewish refugees from Nazism. He published many books and edited the seminal Hertz Chumash. Rabbi Hertz was a founder of the Council of Christians and Jews. As well, he was the first Jew to be made a "Companion of Honour" and was the first Chief Rabbi to make a radio broadcast. Now available in paperback, this book recounts Rabbi Hertz's battles to maintain the Orthodox affiliation of his community and the authority of the Chief Rabbinate in Britain, against the powerful opposition of his own Honorary Officers at the United Synagogue. *** "This is an important book for understanding Rabbi Hertz and British Jewry in general. I learned a great deal about how the British experience both contrasts and mirrors the American experience. I recommend this book for all libraries..." -- AJL Reviews, February/March 2015 [Subject: Biography, History, Jewish Studies, Religious Studies]

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I grew up knowing Rabbi Joseph H. Hertz By Daniel Stuhlman In many ways I grew up knowing Rabbi Joseph H. Hertz through his Humash and Siddur. My shul gave every bar/bat mitzvah child a copy of the Hertz Siddur and his Book of Jewish Thoughts. My copy of the Siddur has wine stains on the kiddish page. I knew very little about the personal and professional life of Rabbi Hertz before I read this book.Chief Rabbi Hertz led British Jewry from 1913 until his death in 1946. During his tenure the world fought two world wars, Britain issued the Balfour Declaration, and there were internal pressures on the Jewish community to be less observant of halacha (i.e. more British) on one side and more like an Eastern European shtetl on the other.Rabbi Hertz was the rabbi of the United Synagogue, a group of synagogues equivalent of what we call modern Orthodox. Rabbi Victor Schonfeld was the rabbi of the very Orthodox Adath Yisraol synagogue. They disagreed on many community and religious issues. But their children married each other. Son-in-law Rabbi Solomon Schonfeld became one of Hertz’s partners and supporters.Taylor spends many pages dealing with the acrimonious relationship with the vice –president of the United Synagogue, Sir Robert Waley Cohen. They disagreed on issues such as the role of the chief rabbi in the community, religious observance, kashrut, and relationship with the British government. Waley Cohen was a wealthy businessman who worked tirelessly without pay for the United Synagogue; however, he was not shomer Shabbat. After Waley Cohen’s death in 1952 the contrasting philosophies of spiritualism and halacha were rarely discussed.This is an important book for understanding Rabbi Hertz and British Jewry in general. I learned a lot about how the British experience both contrasts and mirrors the American experience. I recommend this book for all libraries. It is a bit pricey for personal collections.Daniel D.
