Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks was a global religious leader, philosopher, the author of more than 30 books, and a moral voice for our time. Described by H.R.H. The Prince of Wales as “a light unto this nation,” he was a frequent and respected contributor to radio, television, and the press both in Britain and around the world. Admired by non-Jews as much as Jews, by secular as well as religious thinkers, and equally at home in the university and the yeshiva, Rabbi Sacks held eighteen honorary degrees and was awarded numerous prizes in recognition of his work, including the 2016 Templeton Prize. He served as chief rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth from 1991 until 2013, and read Philosophy at Cambridge before pursuing postgraduate studies at New College, Oxford, and King’s College, London.
