- Who should replace Jonathan Sacks as chief rabbi? | Alexander Goldberg
It is an odd, many-layered job, and the kind of person a polarising Jewish community should choose is not at all obviousLord Sacks, the chief rabbi, announced on Tuesday that he will be stepping down from his post in September 2013 after nearly a quarter of a century in the job. In the next few weeks and months there will be speculation about his successor and the meaning of the role in the 21st century.What sort of candidate should the community be looking for? Is it more important to have a candidate that can speak to the outside world or one who can speak to disaffiliated Jews? Should the candidate seek to unite orthodox factions, reaching out to the strictly orthodox, or try to engage with reform and progressive movements? How about a great intellectual or academic? Will he be a reformer or a reactionary?The chief rabbinate is an odd job: representing Judaism to the outside world; providing spiritual leadership for mainstream orthodox Jews in the United Kingdom, Australia and Hong Kong (when Britain gave up its colony, the local community kept our chief rabbi); and finally trying to please conservative, centrist and liberal wings of those who recognise his spiritual authority (the United Synagogue and the United Hebrew Congregations of the British Commonwealth). This final task will probably dictate the choice of chief rabbi.Sacks has given the community great standing in the outside world. In academic and political circles he is taken as a serious thinker on modern social issues; the government has openly borrowed his ideas on integration and cohesion; and his contributions to Thought for the Day on Radio 4 have given millions a window onto modern Jewish ideas. Sacks will be remembered for his intellectual endeavours, his championing of Jewish education and as an a これは、奇数、多くの層の仕事です極性ユダヤ人のコミュニティは選択する必要があります人の種類は、すべてのobviousLordサックスではない、彼は後に2013年9月に彼のポストから辞任することを火曜日に発表した首席ラビ、ほぼジョブの四半世紀

- Uzbekistan: Bukhara's fading Jewish heritage
Emigration to Israel and the west has left a fast-dwindling Jewish community, and only about 300 worshippers make use of the 16th-century synagogueI finally tracked down Bukhara's synagogue in the winding alleys of the old town only to find its imposing wooden doors shut. The solid facades of the alley gave no clues as to whether there was any life behind them. But soon a dishevelled man appeared with keys to the building.Yura, the night watchman, pushed the finely carved doors open, revealing a well-maintained courtyard with white painted walls adorned with inscriptions in Hebrew and richly embroidered black and gold wall hangings concealing the synagogue's 500-year-old Torah.Yura told me about Bukhara's Jewish community. The synagogue dates from the 16th century and is still in use, although the number of worshippers has declined dramatically over the years. There are only around 300 left in the city, and some of those are about to leave.Since the 1970s, when Soviet emigration controls were relaxed, thousands of Jews have left Bukhara. This process speeded up after Uzbekistan gained its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, although exact figures are hard to come by as there has been no official census in the country since 1989. Many Jews have left for Israel and America, while others have settled in Europe.Many of the fine old houses in the Jewish quarter surrounding the synagogue have had a new lease of life as guest houses. They have retained their original features, such as ornately carved wooden verandahs supported by columns carved from whole tree trunks.Yura took me to see the community's school, which is thriving despite the dwindling numbers of Jews. It teaches in Uzbek, Russian, English and Hebrew and is popular with students from the wider community f イスラエルに移住し、西は、高速減少のユダヤ人社会を残しているだけで約300の参拝は、16世紀のsynagogueIの使用は、最終的には印象的な木製のドアを閉じて見つけるために、旧市街の曲がりくねった路地にブハラのシナゴーグを追跡します
- Marynia Chatterton
My grandmother, Marynia Chatterton, who has died aged 93, was the first female fellow of the British Institution of Structural Engineers. Deploying considerable determination, intellect and tenacity to succeed in a profession that still remains very much a man's world, she designed most of the high-rise buildings in Zimbabwe's capital, Harare.She was born Marynia Znamirowska in Warsaw, into a large Orthodox Jewish family. In 1931, her younger sister died, prompting her family to emigrate to the British Mandate of Palestine. She finished her schooling in a new language, Hebrew, and enrolled as a student of engineering at the Haifa Technion. Graduating with the first distinction in engineering to be awarded there, she went to work for the collective association of kibbutzim. While a student, she served as a weapons trainer in the Jewish paramilitary force Haganah and, when Haifa was bomb]ed during the war, as a firefighter.After marrying my British grandfather, Frank Chatterton, Marynia emigrated in 1947 to Southern Rhodesia. Initially facing scepticism from the construction community, she emerged as one of the country's top engineers, starting her own consulting firm in 1957. She joined the Institution of Structural Engineers, as the first female fellow, in 1954. Marynia went on to design some of the capital's most recognisable landmarks: the National Library, Museum and Art Gallery, and the Meikles hotel.But it was her expertise in high-rise buildings that made a lasting impact on the skyline of modern-day Harare. She designed many of the capital's skyscrapers, her life's work culminating in the 26-storey Reserve Bank headquarters, still Harare's tallest building. And while remaining one of Zimbabwe's most respected practising engineers long after the country's independ 93歳で死去した私の祖母は、Maryniaチャタートンは、英国の研究所構造技術者の最初の女性の仲間だった
