Contenders for British Chief Rabbi Post

  
«Sacks is due to retire in September 2013. The announcement of a successor is scheduled 
to take place in the fourth quarter of 2012. 
 
The crux of the difference between rabbis Broyde and Soloveichik seems to be in their attitude 
to the London Beth Din. Although it is part of the United Synagogue (the centrist Orthodox 
organization which the chief rabbi officially heads), the majority of the Beth Din’s religious 
judges have for decades been ultra-Orthodox, and no chief rabbi has managed to assert 
his authority over them.»
