Hermann Adler: The King's Chief Rabbi

By Derek Taylor

Discover the life of a forgotten leader: Hermann Adler, the King's Chief Rabbi.

Explore the remarkable story of Hermann Adler, a pivotal figure in British Jewish history, largely overlooked today. This biography unveils the life of the man Edward VII called 'My Chief Rabbi, ' revealing his influence on Orthodox Judaism and his role in absorbing 300,000 Jewish refugees fleeing European pogroms.

With a foreword by Lord Jacob Rothschild, this biography sheds light on Adler's challenges, his battles against opponents, and his successful navigation of the community's greatest crises since the Restoration. Uncover the fascinating life of a man who was, in fact, a Rothschild on his mother's side and very much his own man.
