Throughout his life, Simon remained devoted to his community, balancing his work in the family business with passionate service to Liberal Judaism and fostering connections among congregations.
Simon’s leadership was characterized by his resolve and down-to-earth conviction, ultimately achieving the long-sought goal of a united progressive Judaism movement in the UK in April 2023.
