1. The term “Jacobs Affair” refers to the controversy surrounding the potential appointment of Rabbi Louis Jacobs as chief rabbi of England. In 1961, Rabbi Louis Jacobs, z’’l, was nominated as the principal of Jews’ College, a position considered a potential way station for the chief rabbinate of the British Commonwealth. That appointment, however, was blocked by the then–chief rabbi Israel Brodie because of his published views. Brodie then prohibited Louis from returning to his post at the New West End Synagogue in London, upon which a new congregation was established for him.
