The rich history of the German rabbinate came to an abrupt halt
with the November Pogrom of 1938. The need to leave Germany became
clear and many rabbis made use of the visas they had been offered.
Their resettlement in Britain was hampered by additional obstacles
such as internment, deportation, enlistment in the Pioneer Corps.
But rabbis still attempted to support their fellow refugees with
spiritual and pastoral care. The refugee rabbis replanted the seed
of the once proud German Judaism into British soil. New synagogues
were founded and institutions of Jewish learning sprung up, like
rabbinic training and the continuation of "Wissenschaft des
Judentums." The arrival of Leo Baeck professionalized these efforts
and resulted in the foundation of the Leo Baeck College in London.
Refugee rabbis now settled and obtained pulpits in the many newly
founded synagogues. Their arrival in Britain was the catalyst for
much change in British Judaism, an influence that can still be felt
today.
