TRADITION Questions: Lonely Men of Courage and Humility

To commemorate Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks’ fourth Yahrzeit, TRADITION turns its questioning gaze inward. Last year was the 50th anniversary of R. Sacks’ first major publication, “Alienation and Faith.” The essay probed a core assumption of R.

Remembering the Thought Worlds of Rabbi Sacks

As the Jewish world prepares to mark the 4th yahrzeit of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks zt"l tomorrow, 20 Marheshvan (Thursday, November 21) we republish Dr. David Shatz's insightful testimonial to the impact of R. Sacks as an original Orthodox thinker. During those dark days of Covid when we lost R. Sacks' important voice, TRADITION offered a variety of content memorializing him and exploring his teachings. See the links appended to this post to review those items, and visit the Rabbi Sacks Legacy site to participate in the Global Day of Learning.
