The Attractive Young Rabbi was a BBC Radio 4 comedy series of three series from 1999 to 2002, written by Barry Grossman. Starring Tracy-Ann Oberman, David de Keyser and Doreen Mantle, the series was about two rabbis. Oberman is Reform Rabbi Su Jacobs, the attractive young rabbi of the title, and clashes with de Keyser's Orthodox Rabbi Abraham Fine, a very traditional rabbi.
It has been frequently repeated on BBC 7, later BBC Radio 4 Extra, where it is described as a 'gentle comedy'.

But a wild old man in the light

From time long passed away....””
