| AdminHistory | Rabbi Dr. Joseph Rabbinowitz
(18 June 1892 - 11 December 1975)
London-born Rabbi Joseph Rabbinowitz (m. Ruth Beatrice Landau in 1926), the son of Rabbi M. Rabbinowitz of Dalston, London, studied at Jews' College, London and University College London. His first ministerial post was at Bradford Hebrew Congregation, West Yorkshire (1917-c.1919). Two years later he was appointed minister of Higher Broughton Synagogue, Manchester (1919-1924), where he gave special attention to the congregation's religion classes and in 1923 he organised consecration classes for girls (considered a significant innovation at the time). He was hon. secretary of Manchester Beth Din (1921-1925). He then returned to London to become minister and second reader of the Dalston Synagogue, Poet's Road, London (1925-1958), receiving his doctorate in about 1930 and semicha in 1952 from Jews' College. He was a lecturer in the faculty for the training of teachers under the auspices of Jews' College and the London Board of Jewish Religious Education. Rabbi Rabbinowitz was also a noted rabbinic scholar and a published author, editor and translator.
