[EAN: 9780853033776], Fine, [PU: Vallentine Mitchell & Co Ltd, UK], HISTORY BZDB395 PAPERS, LETTERS, SIR JOHN KNOX HISTORY; RELIGIOUS LORD JAKOBOVITS IN CONVERSATION, Biography & Autobiography|General, Biography & Autobiography|Religious, Religion|Judaism|General, 208 Pages. Dustcover is lightly marked. dialogue book with the former chief Rabbi of the British Commonwealth, the late Lord Dr,Immanuel Jakobovits. Lord Jakobovits was born in Germany, studied in England and served as Chief Rabbi in Ireland, Rabbi in New York and Chief Rabbi in London. His education, Jewish and general, was much broader than that of average Israeli Rabbis. He was very involved in general human affairs, dealing widely with Jews and non-Jews alike who consulted him on ethical dilemmas, especially in medical matters. It is therefore not surprising that in this book he presents opinions that differ greatly from the mainstream in matters such as Judaism, Eretz-Israel, Israel and the world, Torah and science. Amazon Review: With the courage and perspicacity that were the hallmarks of his Chief Rabbinate, it is typical of the late Lord Jakobovits to have placed his radical views on the future of Jerusalem at the forefront of the final book in which he participated before his untimely death last year. : "It would be possible to find, within the united city [of Jerusalem], areas that would also serve as the capital of Palestine--like, for example, the Vatican State within the city of Rome," he tells his interlocutor, Michael Shashar. "If the Arabs were to raise their flag in their areas, and even declare that this is their capital, I do not regard this as the most serious difficulty." : In conversations ranging from the Holocaust and Jewish law to Israeli politics and medical ethics, Lord Jakobovits expresses forceful opposition to homosexuality and abortion; religious coercion; the messianism of certain Jewish sects; and the existence of religious political parties in Israel. : There are fascinating views on Lady Thatcher, Tony Blair, Sir Isaiah Berlin, Bill Clinton, Yitzhak Rabin, the Lubavitcher Rebbe and other notables, as well as revealing insights into Lord Jakobovits's contacts with, among others, the Royal Family, former Israeli Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren, the Dalai Lama, and Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel. : Of his successor, Rabbi Dr Jonathan Sacks, he asserts: "He is extremely talented, a brilliant speaker and quick with a pen. His approach and relations with the community are good. On the other hand, he sometimes encounters difficulties in his relations with other rabbis." --Meir Persoff : Synopsis : A dialogue book with the former chief Rabbi of the British Commonwealth, the late Lord Dr,Immanuel Jakobovits.
