The Prince of Wales called Lord Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, “A Light to the Nations”. Rabbi Sacks was also “a Light to the Nation” his nation, the people of Israel.
Rabbi Sacks had a feverish compulsion to teach, to write, and to speak to others. His output was prodigious: countless books, public addresses, lectures, interviews and commentaries on the Bible, rabbinic literature, Jewish liturgy and contemporary culture. Now that more than two months have passed since his untimely death, we may be better able to distill his conception of Judaism and its place in the world.
