Sad to learn of Rabbi Lionel Blue's death. We loved listening to his wise thoughts and the way his interest in people and the world shone through, dosed with wonderful Jewish humour. RIP lovely man.

It was breaking news earlier this morning.
An intelligent, articulate and entertaining speaker and a man of principle.
RIP Lionel Blue

Yes, another sad loss. I, too, liked his thoughts for the day contributions.

I had no idea he'd died. I really used to like his Thought for the Day slots. Wisdom and humour. God bless him.

I used to enjoy his Thought for the Day in radio 4.
