Today the community takes its British spiritual leadership for granted, but the whole structure had to be created from scratch, and Jews' College has played a major part in this for over 150 years. This is the story of those who did the work and fought against the general indifference of a community that so often only paid lip service to the concept. There was also the struggle between lay leaders wanting ministers to be synagogue bureaucrats, and College Principals who wanted Talmudic scholars. The Principals prevailed, educating the bedrock of ministers who grew and nurtured congregations all over Britain and abroad. The achievements of men like Louis Loewe, Michael Friedla?nder, Adolph Bu?chler, Isidore Epstein, Kopul Kahana, Hirsch Zimmels, Nahum Rabinovitch, Irving Jacobs, Jonathan Sacks and Rafi Zarum deserve recognition. Their material sacrifice and intellectual rigour demanded total commitment from their students. This is their story, and the healthy state of the Jewish community in Britain today owes a great deal to their selfless efforts." -- page 4 of cover 606 $aFaith$xSocial aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFaith$xSocial aspects. 676 $a234.23 700 $aTaylor$b Derek$0459054 702 $aApple$b Raymond Rabbi 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162793603321 996 $aDefenders of the faith$92892339 997 $aUNINA
