<p>One day, in January 1997, a group of immigrant, Yiddish-speaking working men met in the kitchen of a basement flat in Sydney Street, Stepney, in the East End of London. Their leader was Isador Berliner, a barber, who had come to the UK from Russia in 1891. He knew from his own experience that Jewish immigrants who did not speak English felt very uneasy when they became patients in hospital. He planned to give them peace of mind by building a hospital, supported by public subscriptions, that would be under Jewish management, and staffed by Jewish doctors and nurses who could speak Yiddish.</p>

Jewish history in London properly begins with the arrival of a small group of Jews with William the Conqueror. Despite their expulsion in 1290, the influence of Jews on the life of capital has grown, especially after the large-scale immigrations of the 19th and 20th centuries. The Jews have had an extraordinary impact on the life of the city, and this book shows how it happened.
