No practising Jew has ever been prime minister of the United Kingdom. Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881), though baptized at the age of 13, was (and is) widely regarded as a Jew - at least by birth. He was prime minister in 1868 and again from 1874-1880. Disraeli was the only British prime minister of Jewish origin.
No, Benjamin Netanyahu is not a Christian Jew. He is a Jewish Israeli politician who has served as the Prime Minister of Israel. The term "Christian Jew" is not commonly used and can be misleading. Netanyahu practices Judaism, not Christianity.
Benjamin Disraeli was British Prime Minister in 1868 and again 1874-1880. Originally of Jewish descent he converted to Anglicanism when he was a teenager. However, there has been no UK Prime Minister who was a Jew while in office.
None. All British Prime Ministers were Christian and most were Anglican Christians. Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli was an ethnic Jew, but was religiously an Anglican Christian.
Did Benjamin Disraeli convert from Judaism before becoming UK Prime Minister and was it then, and now constitutional requirement before, holding office
There is no simple yes or no question to this answer. While there is no express legal bar the election of a non-Anglican British Prime Minister, such a situation would be constitutionally akward given the prime minister's role in appointing senior members of the Church of England. While theoretically, the soverieng has the ultimate power in making ecclesiastical appointments, he or she acts on the advice of the prime minister.Under the Roman Catholic Relief Act of 1829, sect. 17, and the Jews' Relief Act of 1858, sec 4, no Roman Catholic or Jew may advise the sovereign on ecclesiastical matters. Were the prime minister to be a Roman Catholic or a Jew and alternate system of ecclesiastical appointment would have to be devised.To date, all British Prime Ministers to date, at least while in office, have professed Anglican faith. Disraeli, while born into a Jewish family, was babtised into the church of England at age 12 and Tony Blair waited till after he stood down from the post of Prime Minister to officially convert to Catholicism.Gordon Brown does not 'profess the Anglican faith'. His father was a Church of Scotland minister. It is unlikely that any other non-English Prime Minister would be an Anglican (e.g. Alec Douglas-Hume, Ramsey Macdonald).
Yitzhak Rabin: Israeli Prime Minister who recognized the PLO in 1993 and made peace with Jordan in 1994. He was assassinated by a radical Israeli Jew who believed Rabin was betraying Israel in 1995.
No, Jesus was a Jew and did not become a Gentile.
He was born to Jewish parents. Is there any other way to be a Jew?
OpinionIt is neither good nor bad for a Jew to become a Christian; it is simply a matter of personal choice. For it to be considered bad for a Jew to become a Christian, it should also be considered bad for a Christian to become a Jew or, for that matter, a Muslim. There is no reason to consider inter-faith conversions bad.
If you're thinking of Oskar Schindler, he never became a Jew.
Hamada is not in the Old Testament. Maybe you mean Haman? Haman is in the book of Esther. He is the prime minister of King Ahasuerus. Haman plans to have a Jew named Mordecai killed but Haman's plan is thwarted and Haman is killed
