Rabbi Solomon Schonfeld (1912–1984), born in Hungary, was a British rabbi who was honoured as a British Hero of the Holocaust for saving the lives of thousands of Jews. He studied at the yeshiva in Nyitra, Austria-Hungary (now Nitra, Slovakia), for a doctorate at the University of Königsberg, East Prussia. In 1933 he succeeded his father as the rabbi of the Adath Yisroel Synagogue in North London, and as principal of the fledgling Jewish Secondary School. He was the Presiding Rabbi of the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations and president of the National Council for Jewish Religious Day Schools in Great Britain. In 1938, he became the executive director of the Chief Rabbi's Religious Emergency Council. In 1940 he married Judith Hertz, daughter of the Chief Rabbi Joseph Hertz. After the war, he founded the Hasmonean High School and the other schools that formed the Jewish Secondary Schools Movement.
