Rabbi Dr Werner van der Zyl (Schwerte, Germany, 11 September 1902〔 – Palma, Majorca, Spain, 1984) was a rabbi in Berlin and in London, where he came in 1939〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Auschwitz Remembered: Nikki van der Zyl )〕 as a refugee rabbi from Germany. He was the prime mover and first director of studies of the Jewish Theological College of London. The college was inaugurated in 1956 and was renamed Leo Baeck College shortly afterwards at his suggestion.〔 ==Career== Van der Zyl, who was also a trained chazan, received his rabbinical training at the Hochschule für die Wissenschaft des Judentums in Berlin, where he was a pupil of Leo Baeck,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Aylth – History and Heritage )〕 qualifying in 1933.〔 Van der Zyl came to Britain in 1939. During World War II the British Government interned him at Kitchener Camp, Deal, Kent and then at the Mooragh Internment Camp () on the Isle of Man as an "enemy alien". He was released from internment in 1943 and became Minister at North Western Reform Synagogue, remaining there until 1958.〔 While serving as minister at North Western Reform Synagogue, and at the West London Synagogue, where he was Senior Rabbi from 1958 to 1968,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=West London Synagogue of British Jews: Ministers of the Congregation )〕 he oversaw the creation of the Jewish Theological College of London (later Leo Baeck College), sponsored by the Reform Synagogues of Great Britain, and the College's subsequent additional sponsorship by the Liberal Judaism Movement. He retired in 1968 to Majorca where he held the post of honorary rabbi to the Jewish community in Palma.〔 He was a founder and President of Leo Baeck College, London; President of the Reform Synagogues of Great Britain (now known as the Movement for Reform Judaism); and Life Vice President of the World Union for Progressive Judaism. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Werner van der Zyl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
