Alan Abraham Kimche (Hebrew: רב אברהם בן ישראל קמחי) is a British-Israeli Orthodox rabbi and community leader.

His parents, James and Sybil Kimche, were both Orthodox Jews who had fled Europe due to Nazi persecution immediately prior to World War Two.

[citation needed] Throughout the earlier half of his rabbinic career, Kimche worked intermittently on his doctoral thesis at Birkbeck, University of London, under the direction of David-Hillel Ruben.

[citation needed] During their thirty-five year tenure in the rabbinate, Via Kimche worked alongside her husband as the Rebbitzen and spiritual leader of the Ner Yisrael community, in addition to her roles as a high school teacher, counsellor, and birth coach.

He began his fledgling rabbinic career by directing a series of adult educational initiatives called Da'at,[8] which involved giving classes to Jewish employees of corporations located in London's financial district.

It swiftly grew to from ten families to over a hundred, and within two years outgrew its location in the LSJS building on Albert Road, and moved to its current premises on The Crest, Hendon.

[9] Ner Yisrael grew further, and soon became the flagship Modern-Orthodox Synagogue in the United Kingdom, with a strong emphasis on Religious-Zionism, cultural engagement, and universal learning.

[citation needed] In 1987, responding to the requests of his congregants, Kimche formed a committee to construct an Eruv for the North-West London Jewish community.

This caused a minor furore in the London community and beyond, with several prominent figures, such as Rabbis Samuel Lebens, Nathan Lopes Cardozo, Michael Harris, and Binyamin Lau all writing rebuttals to Kimche's views.

[22] In 2016, Kimche publicly denounced the controversial preacher Yosef Mizrachi, whose views on topics such as the Holocaust and Down Syndrome had sparked anger during his visit to London.

He was also honoured with a Festschrift, which included essays from prominent colleagues such as Rabbis Raphael Evers, Chanoch Ehrentreu, Mosheh Lichtenstein, and Shlomo Riskin.
