Rabbi Belovski is the founding principal of Rimon Jewish Primary School and the head of modern rabbinic thought at the London School of Jewish Studies.

He is the author of and contributor to several books and hundreds of articles, and regularly broadcasts on the Radio 2 Chris Evans Show. He has also presented Radio 4’s ‘Something Understood’.
I welcome the opportunity to participate in ‘Liberty, Legacy, Leadership’ to share best practice, be inspired by world-leaders in the field and contribute a perspective from ancient Jewish wisdom to a wide audience.
