VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: Britains Chief Rabbis and the religious character of Anglo-Jewry 1880 to 1970 Summary: The period begins around 1880, a time when the Anglo-Jewish community was consolidating its institutional structures, particularly via the UnitedSynagogue (founded in 1870) and the position of the HermannAdler and subsequent Chief Rabbis. The role of the Chief Rabbi in Britain was in many ways modelled on the Church of Englands bishop/archbishop model (especially in the late Victorian era) the office held not only religious but social and communal authority. This era saw major challenges: modernity (secularisation, assimilation), immigration (especially Eastern European Jews post-1880), world wars, the creation of Israel, and changes in Jewish communal life.
