In his final message before stepping down after more than two decades in office, Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks recounted his personal journey of discovery and faith.
Through a compelling analysis of recent Jewish history, A Judaism Engaged with the World warns that a Judaism divorced from society will be a Judaism unable to influence society or inspire young Jews.
Calling Judaism “the voice of hope in the conversation of humankind”, Rabbi Sacks argues that in the twenty-first century Jews will need the world and the world will need the Jews. What we need, he argues, is a Judaism unafraid to engage with the intellectual, ethical, political and personal challenges of our time.
As the Chief Rabbi chapter in his own life came to a close, Rabbi Sacks invited the community to join him in his mission to inspire a new generation of Jewish leaders with the confidence to address the challenges that face Jews, Judaism and Israel today.
