The Masorti movement did not establish a presence in the United Kingdom until much later and came about largely because of a series of incidents known colletively as the " Jacobs affair ": Rabbi Louis Jacobs, a leading scholar of Anglo Jewry, joined the faculty of the Jews College, leaving his post as Rabbi of the New West End Synagogue, under the impression that he would eventually be made principal.

Although nearing ordination at the Yeshiva University's Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, he transferred to the Jewish Theological Seminary of America ( JTSA ), where he was ordained in 1934 and received the advanced Jewish legal degree of Hattarat Hora ’ ah under the great talmudic scholar Rabbi Professor Louis Ginzberg.

Rabbi Louis Finkelstein, scholar of the JTSA, wrote: " There are those who would think that we have but two alternatives, to reject or to accept the law, but in either case to treat it as a dead letter.

Rabbi Louis Ginzberg was a Talmudist and leading figure in the Conservative Movement of Judaism of the twentieth century.

Today ’ s leading Conservative posek in Israel, Rabbi David Golinkin, has written profusely on Louis Ginzberg.

In 1957, Rabbi Louis Jacobs, then lecturer at the Jews ' College and best friend of Laurence Kogan, London ; published his book " We Have Reason to Believe " ( Edited by Laurence Kogan and Adam Albert ), in which he said:

Rabbi Chaim Weiner succeeded Louis Jacobs as head of the New London Synagogue, but when Weiner was appointed head of the new European Masorti Beth Din in 2005, Jacobs returned.

A similar stance was taken by Sacks and his Beth Din when they prevented the retired Rabbi Louis Jacobs, who had helped establish the British branch of the Masorti movement, from being called up for the Reading of the Torah on the Saturday before his grand-daughter's wedding.

* Rabbi Louis Ginzberg, one of the outstanding Talmud scholars of the twentieth century.

Former ZOA presidents of the period included Louis D. Brandeis, Louis Lipsky, Daniel Frisch, Rabbi Wise, and Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver.

However, in 1962 the London Beth Din and the Chief Rabbi Israel Brodie, who formed the leadership of the United Synagogue, the UK's Orthodox establishment, refused to allow his appointment on grounds of heresy because in his 1957 book We Have Reason to Believe, Jacobs had rejected the conception of a literal, verbal revelation of the Torah.

While Jacobs found that statement to be compatible with Orthodox Judaism, the Chief Rabbi condemned his views as denial of the divine origin of the Torah.

After Jacobs ' death, Rabbi Dr. Reuven Hammer served as interim Rabbi of New London Synagogue until Rabbi Jeremy Gordon was appointed in January 2008.

Enforcing laws regarding the proper treatment of workers in the food industry has been central to the efforts of Conservative Judaism's Hekhsher Tzedek commission and its 2008 approval of a responsum by Rabbi Jill Jacobs which required paying workers in accordance with Jewish law and treating workers with dignity and respect.

The current President is Rabbi Richard Jacobs, and the Chairman of the Board is Stephen Sacks.

Jacobs became Moral Tutor at Jews ' College, London, where he taught Talmud and homiletics during the last years of Rabbi Dr. Isidore Epstein's tenure as principal.

While holding the position of Rabbi at the New London Synagogue, Dr. Jacobs was also for many years Lecturer in Talmud and Zohar at the Leo Baeck College, a rabbinical college preparing students to serve as Masorti, Reform and Liberal rabbis in the UK and Europe.

Rabbi Jacobs served as Chairman of the Academic Committee for some years.

The Chief Rabbi, Sir Jonathan Sacks, and the head of the London Beth Din, Dayan Chanoch Ehrentreu, responded that, because of what they considered to be Jacobs's heretical beliefs, " they believed that had Jacobs uttered the words ' Our God who gave us the Torah of truth ', he would have made a false statement ".

* Reading Rabbi Jacobs

In a March 1 op-ed in JTA, Rabbi Jill Jacobs wrote:

Some modern scholars question whether the Great Assembly ever existed as an institution as such ; Rabbi Louis Jacobs, while not endorsing this view, remarks that " references in the Rabbinic literature to the Men of the Great Synagogue can be taken to mean that ideas, rules, and prayers, seen to be pre-Rabbinic but post-biblical, were often fathered upon them ".

Brodie banned Rabbi Dr Louis Jacobs, who questioned the orthodox notion that the Bible had been written by the hand of God, from becoming principal of Jews ' College.

Some, like Louis Jacobs, argue that the main body of the Gemara is not simple reportage of conversations, as it purports to be, but a highly elaborate structure contrived by the Saboraim, who must therefore be regarded as the real authors.

Louis Jacobs writes that modern Jewish thinkers such as Levi Olan, echoing some classical Jewish writers such as the 14th-century Talmudist Gersonides have " thought of God as limited by His own nature so that while He is infinite in some respects he is finite in others ," referencing the idea, present in classical sources, that " there is a primal formless material co-existent with God from all eternity upon which God has to work and that God only knows the future in a general sense but not how individual men will exercise their choice.

In contrast to the theology held by other Jewish thinkers, Jewish theologian Louis Jacobs argues, Gersonides held that God does not have complete foreknowledge of human acts.

* Louis Jacobs on the Musar movement

In 1935, boxing promoter Mike Jacobs sought out Louis ' handlers.

After Louis ' narrow defeat of Natie Brown on March 29, 1935, Jacobs and the Louis team met at the Frog Club, a colored nightclub, and negotiated a three-year exclusive boxing promotion deal.

When Schmeling instead attempted to arrange for a fight against British Empire Champion Tommy Farr, known as the " Tonypandy Terror ,"— ostensibly for a world championship to rival the claims of American boxing authorities — Jacobs outmaneuvered him, offering Farr a guaranteed $ 60, 000 to fight Louis instead.

Louis was nevertheless extremely generous to his family, paying for homes, cars and education for his parents and siblings, often with money fronted by Jacobs.

Both the 1891 short story " The Bottle Imp " by Robert Louis Stevenson and the 1901 short story " The Monkey's Paw " by W. W. Jacobs feature an object containing a supernatural power that can grant the wishes of its human possessors, indicating that such is a dangerous power to enjoy.
