Timeline
Her mother was a German-Jewish refugee who had fled the Nazis, arriving in England at the age of 22 in 1937, while her father was born in England to German-Jewish immigrants who had settled there before World War I.
The Schwab Trust, which supports and educates young refugees and asylum seekers, was later set up in her parents' name.
She attended South Hampstead High School and Newnham College, Cambridge, where she first studied Assyriology.
After she was refused entry to Turkey because she was British, and then to Iraq because she was Jewish, she had to change her subject and instead studied her second language of Hebrew full-time.
She obtained her rabbinic diploma at Leo Baeck College.
Julia Babette Sarah Neuberger, Baroness Neuberger, (née Schwab; born 27 February 1950) is a British member of the House of Lords.

They have a son named Matthew and a daughter named Harriet.
Neuberger taught at her alma mater, Leo Baeck College, from 1977 to 1997.
She later became Britain's first female rabbi to have her own synagogue.
She was rabbi of the South London Liberal Synagogue from 1977 to 1989 and is president of West Central Liberal Synagogue.

Her book, The Moral State We're In, a study of morality and public policy in modern Britain (ISBN 0-00-718167-1), was published in 2005.
The title is an allusion to Will Hutton's 1997 book, The State We're In.
In 1997, Neuberger criticised education in Northern Ireland as "sectarian" at the opening of Loughview Integrated Primary School.
The Irish News claimed she had criticised Catholic schools as sectarian, leading to criticism from the Director of the Catholic Council for Maintained Schools.
However, she said that the report from the Irish News had given a misleading impression and that she had been quoted out of context: "In fact, I think in what I actually said at the opening I didn't mention Catholic schools. I think I actually mentioned Protestant, Muslim and Jewish but then I was interviewed afterwards and I certainly said to the reporter that what I said applied just as much to Catholic schools as to Protestant or Jewish or Muslim or whatever."
She was appointed a DBE in the New Year Honours of 2003.
The impartiality of the appointment was questioned by some of the bereaved families, due to her previous endorsement of the pathway, which was written by Dr John Ellershaw, medical director of the Marie Curie Palliative Care Institute in Liverpool, in a 2003 BMJ article, and her widely publicised support of the Marie Curie Institute.
In June 2004, she was created a life peer as Baroness Neuberger, of Primrose Hill in the London Borough of Camden.

In January 2013, Neuberger was appointed chair of an Independent Review of the Liverpool Care Pathway for the Dying Patient.
