Rabbi Lionel Blue: 1930-2017

I once interviewed Rabbi Lionel Blue and asked him if he thought the Ten Commandments could be made more appealing to young people by adding some fashion do's and dont's.

'Oh no....'

PS Lionel reads his own obituary.

Thought For The Day: With Rabbi Lionel Blue

"It was 1955 and Amsterdam was the Greenwich Village of Europe. I don't think I saw daylight while I was there. I said yes to everything and met some extraordinary people. I thought I'd dumped the God business. But I remember sitting in a gay sauna in Amsterdam, thinking, 'What are the 10 commandments of gay life in this situation?'"

Rabbi Lionel Blue interviewed in The Guardian.
Co/incidentally Fagburn once interviewed Rabbi Lionel Blue - I asked if he thought the 10 Commandments could be made more relevant to young people by adding some fashion dos and don'ts at the end.
