“More than wealth and power, education is the key to human dignity." - R. Lord Jonathan Sacks
Course Description :
One of the leading theologians of the last decades, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks' views on different topics have been studied not only by Jews, but by scholars of different fields and faiths. In this course, prepared by one of Rabbi Sacks' students, we will cover ten topics, which together give us a kaleidoscope of how Rabbi Sacks viewed the world and the contributions of Judaism to it: Faith, God, Family, Judaism, Forgiveness, Israel, Covenant, Difference, Jewish People and Peace.
