RABBI WOLFF

Willy Wolff is nearly 90 and quite likely the most unconventional Rabbi in the world. During his time as State Rabbi of North-East Germany, he looked after the Jewish Communities in Schwerin and Rostock, all the while commuting to and from his bungalow home near Henley-on-Thames. In his spare time, whether he's visiting orthodox relatives in Jerusalem, practicing yoga on a fasting retreat, placing bets at the Royal Ascot races or carol singing at Windsor Castle, age and convention are two things that cannot stand in the way of his unsurpassable energy for life.

A heart warming and encouraging story of one man's unusual journey. Settling as a young boy in England to escape the Nazi onslaught, becoming a successful political journalist and then, at 52 turning full circle to train and become a progressive Jewish Rabbi. The insights picked up on a journey like that are told in an easy reading format with frankness and good humour by Willy Wolff .
