British Jewry Hall Of Fame

This page is a little about the Jews who have contributed to the British Way of Life. Many were born elsewhere and either by choice or neccesity landed on British shores, Others like Jules Styne and Jerry Springer were born in Britain but made their name in the USA. And others like Felicity Kendal and Elisabeth Taylor converted to Judaism. Others had just one Jewish parent. This list includes England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales. Prior to this list the only monuments to well known British Jews were the chairs in the now long-gone Isows Restaurant in Brewer Street, London. Each had a name on the chair.- Progress means the Internet can replace those chairs. We have obviously missed out many more and we invite readers and/or the relations of our selections to assist us with pictures or information. Thank you- all correspondence to info@ukonformedinvestor.co.uk
