The London School of Jewish Studies has awarded a chair to its deputy president Rabbi Joseph Dweck named in honour of his predecessor Rabbi Dr Abraham Levy.
Rabbi Dweck, who is making aliyah in January after 11 years as Senior Rabbi of the S & P Sephardi Community, will give his inaugural lecture as holder of the Rabbi Levy Chair of Jewish Wisdom, later this month.
He will continue teaching at LSJS both online and occasionally in person after his move to Israel.
Rabbi Levy, who died in 2022, was a much-loved community figure who was Rabbi Dweck’s predecessor as spiritual leader of the Sephardi community and deputy principal of LSJS. He was also the founder of the Naima Jewish Preparatory School in Maida Vale.
