Rabbi Hughes has visited Eton College regularly visited Eton College
Jewish Class. His visits and the talks he gives to the Jewish students of
Eton College are always eagerly awaited. For our Jewish students their
sense of Judaism both spiritually and culturally has been enriched and
enhanced having had the benefit of the lectures and lessons that Rabbi
Hughes has delivered.
As I retire as Jewish Tutor at Eton College, it has been a great benefit to me and in turn the Jewish students to have the benefit of Rabbi Hughes’ knowledge and support. His level of academic study and authoritative knowledge serve to enhance the quality of learning experience and academic challenge for our students.
Rabbi Hughes’s family background and his early career in football enables students from extremely diverse Jewish backgrounds to relate to him as a person and not just a rabbi. He literally breaks down the barriers to allow those from the most distant Jewish backgrounds to feel they have a place in the Jewish community. It is no understatement that in recent times certain Jewish students from the Eton College Jewish Class have been completely changed as far as their outlook to Judaism is concerned due to Rabbi Hughes’ input. Eton Looks forward to working with Rabbi Hughes over the coming years.

"Thank you Jonny for the amazing JSoc session today. You're a very powerful speaker and the class thought that the content was insightful, engaging and philosophically challenging . It certainly appealed to everybody in the room regardless of their background.
I would recommend The Abraham Effect and will definitely like to hear more from you in the future."

“Being at a school with less than fifteen Jewish pupils across five years, there was a limited Jewish presence and provision for students before the introduction of Rabbi Hughes. Having the help of him and the Abraham Effect has been hugely beneficial to us, as now along with the once a term Friday Night Dinners and the introduction of a weekly prayer service, we have monthly sessions, in the form of a lunch and learn, that cover a huge range of topics. In addition, the feedback I have received from other boys says that it has helped them to rekindle their Jewish identity whilst being at a mainstream school, and it also makes them feel prouder about being Jewish. The sessions have been so enriching, that we now have boys with unexplored Jewish heritage coming to find out more about Judaism.”

"Rabbi Hughes’ session was very well received. It was insightful and engaging, encouraging us to deepen our understanding of Judaism’s interaction with philosophy and free will. Looking forward to him returning to North London Collegiate School!"
