The Central Council and the Central Welfare Agency, the two Jewish bodies in Germany, have established a joint “Leo Baeck Prize” to be awarded annually on November 2, the anniversary of the death of Rabbi Dr. Leo Baeck, Berlins foremost liberal rabbi for a generation. The cash prize is intended for scholars or students, without respect to nationality or religion, whose achievements, research plans or personality indicate that their works will be in the spirit of Rabbi Baeck.
