Preacher: Rabbi Mark Solomon, Co-chair of the London Society of Jews and Christians
Rabbi Mark Solomon is originally from Sydney, Australia, but began his rabbinic studies at a Hasidic yeshiva in rival Melbourne. After a stint in Israel, he did an Arts Hons. degree at Sydney University, with a dissertation on baroque religious poetry. He completed rabbinic studies at the Orthodox Jews' College, London, in 1991, and the same year began teaching at the Progressive Leo Baeck College, where he has grown old and grey, lecturing in Talmud, Biblical Exegesis, Rabbinic Theology, Medieval philosophy (the topic of his MA dissertation), Kabbalah and Hasidism. He has served as rabbi for one Orthodox synagogue and several Liberal ones, and is currently part-time minister of Edinburgh and Leicester Liberal communities. He is Interfaith Consultant for Liberal Judaism and chairs its Beit Din (rabbinic court) overseeing conversions. He is also a cantor and enjoys singing Gilbert and Sullivan, Yiddish songs and for Burns night suppers. He lives in North London with his partner, the actor Lobo Chan, who hates Gilbert and Sullivan. |
