Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield (21 December 1804–19 April 1881), born Benjamin D'Israeli, was a former prime minister of the United Kingdom, and also an author. He was a famous rival of William Ewart Gladstone.
Disraeli was born into a Jewish family, and remains the only Jewish Prime Minister in British history.[1] However, he did not follow the Jewish religion after the age of 12, when he joined the Anglican Church.
