Rabbi Mirvis will assume office in September 2013. Rabbi Mirvis was Chief Rabbi of Ireland from 1984 to 1992 where he represented the Jewish community to government, other faith communities and the media.
The Chief Rabbinate Trust has today confirmed the appointment of Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, as the 11th Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the UK and the Commonwealth. He will assume office when Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks steps down in September 2013.
The recommendation to appoint Rabbi Mirvis was unanimously endorsed on Monday evening following an exhaustive eight month selection process.
Rabbi Mirvis has earned a reputation as one of the UK’s most respected community Rabbis, currently serving as the Senior Rabbi at Finchley United Synagogue, (known as Kinloss) a community of well over 1,800 members. In this role since 1996, he has galvanised the community and been responsible for founding pioneering education projects, such as the Kinloss Learning Centre and is the founding Principal of local Primary School, Morasha.
As Chief Rabbi of Ireland from 1984 to 1992, Rabbi Mirvis represented the Jewish community to government, other faith communities and the media. He joined the UK Rabbinate in 1992 when he was appointed as successor to Lord Sacks at the prestigious Western Marble Arch Synagogue in London and was appointed to the Chief Rabbi’s Cabinet in 1996.
