Ephraim Mirvis Quotations

The rabbis will find in me personally someone who cares about their future and welfare.

The beth din is the court of the chief rabbi. I see myself taking an active role within the beth din.

My track record is that I have always sought to work with warmth and in a constructive way with the leaders of other components of the Jewish faith.

Full and unhesitating implementation of the report's findings must now follow. I call upon the Labour Party to guarantee that there will be zero tolerance of antisemitism.

The comments by the Leader of the Labour Party [Jeremy Corbyn] at the launch, however they were intended, are themselves offensive, and rather than rebuilding trust among the Jewish community, are likely to cause even greater concern.

I feel very privileged indeed to be appointed to be the next Chief Rabbi.

Britain has been good to the Jews, and the Jews have been good for Britain.

Rabbi means teacher, and I see the role of chief rabbi as chief teacher.
