Guest guest Posted June 18, 2001 Report Share Posted June 18, 2001 Having said which, could you enlighten me as to how frum the Chief Rabbi is? I was wondering this morning if the appointment is usually middle of the road or holier than holy, in this country. I suspect the former but I'd be interested to know. Is there a hierarchy of rabbis, like there is of priests in the RC and Anglican churches (and others I know but there are also lots of denominations where there isn't so... trying really hard not to get anything wrong here!) Um it depends on which Chief Rabbi...the present one is more middle-of-the-road than the last one. Lord Jakobovits was very frum. Rabbi Sachs is pretty orthodox but not *as* frum as Lord J. Interestingly enough, Jonathon Sachs was at Cambridge with DH, and studied Talmud with him, with DH in the teacher role, and Sachs as the pupil ) The Chief Rabbi is not set over all denominations, he is the Chief of the United Synagogue which is *very* middle of the road. The right wing orthodoxy don't consider him their leader, neither do the reform or conservative. HTH Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 Just to inject a bit of silliness into this, I was reminded by this talk of rabbis of one of my friends at university who had a friend who was training to be a reform rabbi. Her name was Tessa Warren...Rabbi T Warren! (Always rather fancied being a minister of religion myself (Oi, I heard someone mention the word preaching at the back!) - but I lack a rather obvious qualification!!!) -- jennifer@...

What's the difference between an Orthdox wedding, a Conservative wedding and a Reform Wedding? (all Jewish) Answer: At the orthodox wedding the bride's mother is pregnant. At the Conservative wedding the bride is pregnant. At the Reform wedding the Rabbi is pregnant. Ruthie > Vaudin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
