Publisher's Synopsis
Family and colleagues of Rabbi Lord Sacks have produced a book of many original articles, stories, and Torah teaching to pay tribute to his impact as Chief Rabbi and perpetuate that legacy-the community we built together. Containing a Foreword from Lady Sacks, Introduction from Chief Rabbi Mirvis, recollections from Rabbi Sacks' family, and contributions from the Dayanim of the London Beth Din, the book has 7 chapters: Chapter 1 contains Divrei Torah, building on themes in Rabbi Sacks' writing and teaching about Judaism. 2 focuses on his central principles of leadership, education, and outlook as Chief Rabbi. 3 concentrates on his prodigious literary output as Chief Rabbi. 4 celebrates him as a master storyteller, sharing both stories he told and stories which the authors experienced with him. 5 draws on his booklets, Letter to the Next Generation 1 & 2 and A Judaism Engaged With the World. Rabbis who were part of the 'next generation' then give contemporary responses to his points. 6 contains recollections from people who worked closely with him over many years and 7 is a compilation of some of his most significant writings about the Jewish community and Judaism during his tenure.
