Bernard Homa

Bernard Homa (1900 – September 1991) was a British medical doctor and politician, who served on London County Council.

Born in Whitechapel as Bernard Deichowsky, he was educated at the Yeshivah Etz Chaim in Aldgate, then studied medicine. During this period, he became the chair of the London Mizrachi Students' Society, and he later chaired the Mizrachi Organisation of Great Britain. For 37 years, he served as president of the Machzikei Hadath Synagogue.

Homa joined the Labour Party, and at the 1934 London County Council election, he was elected in Hackney Central. During World War II, Homa served as a major in the Royal Army Medical Corps.

Homa stood down from the county council in 1955, and thereafter spent more time writing. His works included A Fortress in Anglo-Jewry, Orthodoxy in Anglo-Jewry, and his autobiography, published in 1990, Footsteps on the Sands of Time.
