The Jewish world revered R. Sacks as a towering figure in Jewish and public life, this volume–co-published with the Rabbi Sacks Legacy–engages his work more deeply, as he himself would have encouraged. He was not only a statesman of faith but a thinker whose ideas were continuously evolving. He continued to read and develop intellectually throughout his career. His teachings thus invite not only admiration but debate; they call on us to wrestle with their tensions, trace their evolution, and consider how they might be extended—or challenged—in response to today’s questions. This volume, the largest in TRADITION‘s nearly seven decades, presents 19 essays that continue reading R. Sacks not only with reverence, but with rigor. See the table of contents, volume introductions, sample chapters, and essay abstracts.
