About Claude Montefiore
Claude Joseph Goldsmid Montefiore, also Goldsmid–Montefiore or just Goldsmid Montefiore (1858–1938), was the founding president of the World Union for Progressive Judaism, an early anti-Zionist leader, and is credited as the intellectual founder of Liberal Judaism in the United Kingdom. A scholar of the Hebrew Bible, rabbinic literature and the New Testament, his work significantly influenced many aspects of modern Jewish religious thought, Jewish-Christian relations, and Anglo-Jewish socio-politics. Montefiore was President of the Anglo-Jewish Association and co-founded the anti-Zionist League of British Jews in 1917.
