Controversial
book by the Chief Rabbi
The Jewish community in Britain has been divided in recent
months over very controversial words, written by the Chief
Rabbi. In mid 2002, Chief Rabbi of Britain, Dr. Jonathan
Sacks, revealed new ideas in his book, ‘The Dignity
of Difference: How to Avoid the Clash of Civilizations’,
which started a row among Jewish religious leaders in Britain
and overseas. Plus, a letter and a comment by Mr. Naim Dangoor.
