ServiceOrbach was a lifelong member of Poale Zion (Great Britain).[2] He was general secretary of the Jewish Trades Advisory Council ("a committee of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, aimed at countering anti-Semitism in business life" during World War II) from 1940 and remained its secretary until his death in 1976.[1][3] He was chairman of Central Middlesex Group hospital management committee.{{citation needed|date=March 2016}} He was active in the World Jewish Congress (WJC). In 1954, on behalf of both the WJC and Winston Churchill, he went to Cairo to help save the lives of Jews sentenced to death as part of the Lavon Affair.[2] Later, he said that Egypt's President, Gamal Abdel Nasser, had agreed to spare their lives but then reneged to balance their deaths with members of Muslim Brotherhood.[1] Political careerOrbach contested Huntingdonshire in the 1931 election and Willesden East in 1935 and in a 1938 by-election. In 1937 he was elected to the London County Council, representing St Pancras South West.[4][5] He was elected Member of Parliament for Willesden East in 1945, serving until his defeat in 1959, and for Stockport South from 1964 until his death just before the 1979 general election. His successor was Thomas McNally.{{citation needed|date=March 2016}} PersonalIn 1935, Orbach married Ruth, an American, who later taught English to refugees from Nazi Germany.[1][6] She served as chairman of Pioneer Women (later renamed British Na'amat). She died in 1983.[2] Daughter Susie is a psychotherapist and writer, and co-founder of The Women's Therapy Centre in London.[7] Son Laurence taught history at Columbia University, New York, before founding Quarto Publishing in London in 1976. He was chairman and CEO of The Quarto Group, Inc.[8] LegacyAt his death in 1979, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency called him a "prominent leader of Anglo Jewry" and stated "a stalwart Zionist, he was a founder of the Labour Friends of Israel."[1] In 2010 The Guardian referred to him as "a self-proclaimed Labour Zionist who had conspicuously failed to support Israel during the Suez crisis."[9] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news| title = Maurice Orbach Dead at 76| publisher = Jewish Telegraphic Agency| url = http://www.jta.org/1979/04/27/archive/maurice-orbach-dead-at-76| date = 27 April 1979| accessdate = 29 August 2016}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite book |title=The Palgrave Dictionary of Anglo-Jewish History |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |place=London |date=2011 |accessdate=29 August 2016 |page=734 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hJc8afOZV0QC&pg=PA734}} 3. ^{{cite web |title=Trades Advisory Council Archives |publisher=University College London |url=https://www.ucl.ac.uk/library/special-collections/a-z/trades-advisory |date= |accessdate=29 August 2016}} 4. ^{{cite news| title = New L.C.C.
