All societies wrestle with the scourge of prejudice, but validating that prejudice in statute makes a virtue of oppression.
From Ephraim Mirvis
My track record is that I have always sought to work with warmth and in a constructive way with the leaders of other components of the Jewish faith.
The rabbis will find in me personally someone who cares about their future and welfare.
'Rabbi' means 'teacher,' and I see the role of chief rabbi as chief teacher.
The beth din is the court of the chief rabbi. I see myself taking an active role within the beth din.
Britain has been good to the Jews, and the Jews have been good for Britain.
I feel very privileged indeed to be appointed to be the next Chief Rabbi.
Shimon Peres was the greatest living example of an unshakable belief in the pursuit of peace against all odds.
All political parties share in the responsibility to rid our society of anti-Semitism, but we cannot achieve that objective with political posturing or empty promises of action never to be fulfilled.
Anti-Semitism is not just a problem for Jews; it is a problem for all of our society.
