Inhaltsangabe:

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.

The Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of Great Britain and the Commonwealth is the spiritual head of our communities.
