Liberal Judaism Adds Tributes to Former Rabbi

15/11/2020

Liberal Judaism, the movement for progressive Jews and a place where many LGBTQ Jewish people have made their spiritual home, was amongst those groups paying tribute to the former Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, who had passed on from a cancer related condition at the age of seventy seven. Rabbi Charley Baginsky, representing the Reform movement, said “Rabbi Lord Sacks was a great teacher and orator and held influence across the Jewish world and beyond. We are thinking of his family and loved ones at this time. May his memory always be a blessing.” Sacks opposed the introduction of civil marriage for samesex couples, but went on to note that he would never wish to go back to a world where LGBTQ people were “persecuted”. On a number of occasions, he made reference to the fact that gay and gender non conformist people were murdered alongside Jews by extremist and fascistic regimes.
