The World Jewish Congress mourns the passing of Eldred Tabachnik, former president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
“Eldred was a dedicated public servant of Anglo Jewry who will always be remembered for his eloquence and dignity” said WJC President Ronald S. Lauder. “A gifted barrister, he was an unwavering champion of the Jewish people and was the embodiment of the Talmudic credo “Kol yisrael arevim zeh bazeh” [All Jews are responsible for one another]. May his memory always be a blessing and an inspiration."
