Louis Jacobs 10th Memorial Events

“Religious Authority and Individualism: can they co-exist?”

Keynote Speaker – Rabbi Jeremy Rosen

Chaired by Rabbi Jeremy Gordon

Monday, 11th July 2016, 7.45pm, JW3 at the main hall, Finchley Road, NW3 (preceded by mincha at 7.15)

Jeremy RosenJeremy Rosen, a graduate of Cambridge University and alumnus of the Mir Yeshivah in Jerusalem, occupied orthodox pulpits in Glasgow and London and was Principal of Carmel College from 1971 to 1984. From 1992 to 2007, He was Professor and Chairman of the Faculty for Comparative Religion in Wilrijk, Belgium.  Inspired by his father Kopul Rosen, he has always been an outspoken and controversial figure, even now in his retirement to New York where he is the rabbi of a small Persian congregation.

In 1963 he was on the executive of the IUJF, which invited Rabbi Louis Jacobs to become its president in protest against the attempts to silence his controversial views. He has always expressed regret at the way Rabbi Jacobs was excluded from the orthodox community. Author of several books (including Exploding Myths Jews Believe, Can We Talk about Religion and Kopul Rosen), Rabbi Rosen is also well known in several countries for his candid and well considered weekly email blogs.
