Masorti Judaism is to take on responsibility for the Louis Jacobs Foundation, the charitable initiative set up to preserve the legacy of the rabbi who was the movement’s spiritual mentor.
The foundation was launched by Rabbi Jacobs’s son Ivor following the death of his father 20 years ago as a resource to ensure the continuing accessibility of his teachings.
It houses a digital archive not only of his many books but also articles, writings and video talks of “one of the most influential Jewish thinkers of the modern era”, Masorti said.
It also contains sources on the controversy that propelled him to national fame 60 years ago when his ideas on the origins of Torah led to his exile from the United Synagogue.
