Reverend David Woolf Marks (1811-1909) was the inaugural Senior Minister of the West London Synagogue, Britain’s first Reform/Progressive community.
During that time, he became known in civic society for his commitment to social justice and the need for the congregation to be involved in building a better world . He was also Professor of Hebrew at University College.
His innovative dedication sermon that set out his aims is preserved in the British Library and many of his principles still inspire us today.
