As the Jewish new year approaches, Sarah Walker's guest on Essential Classics this week is Baroness Julia Neuberger, one of Britain's most prominent liberal rabbis, social reformer and member of the House of Lords since June 2004. A former Liberal Democrat, she became a crossbench peer in September 2011 on becoming Senior Rabbi to the West London Synagogue (a Movement for Reform Judaism synagogue).
The daughter of a German Jewish immigrant family, she was educated at Newnham College, Cambridge, and obtained her Rabbinic Diploma at Leo Baeck College, London, where she taught for 20 years from 1977 to 1997. She was Britain's second female rabbi, and the first to have her own synagogue (the South London Liberal Synagogue). Since January 2007 she has been president of the Liberal Judaism movement.
Baroness Neuberger has always undertaken many voluntary and philanthropic roles. She was Chair of Camden and Islington Community Health Services NHS Trust from 1992 to 1997 and Chief Executive of The King's Fund 1997-2004. Several of her books deal with the ethics of healthcare and dying. The Moral State We're In, a study of morality and public policy in modern Britain, was published in 2005.
