Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks: The Central Moral and Spiritual Challenge of Our Time
Influential author, philosopher, theologian, Jonathan Sacks died November 7, 2020, at age 72.
Baron Sacks, a member of the British House of Lords, served as the Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom (United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth) from 1991-2013. He held degrees from the University of Cambridge and The University of London (King's College).
