Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks "has been Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth since September 1, 1991, the sixth incumbent since 1845.

"Widely recognised as one of the world's leading contemporary exponents of Judaism, Britain’s Prime Minster Gordon Brown, said of him (May 2003): “The Chief Rabbi is not just a distinguished scholar but a distinguished spiritual leader and a globally respected ambassador for the Jewish community here in Britain. He is respected in every continent because he has done more than anyone in Britain today to focus our attention on the needs and challenges of community in the global world.”"
