The first Chief Rabbi’s Award has been presented to Professor David Katz, one of UK Jewry’s most tireless advocates on medical issues including organ donation, circumcision and genetic screening.

Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis praised the recipient as “one of those very special people whose service to the Jewish community knows no bounds.

“Almost all of his work is done behind the scenes and without any fanfare or recognition.

“My hope is that we will recognise many more unsung heroes in this way in the years to come.”
