Marking the passing of Rabbi Sacks with an annual day of learning in his memory.
21 November 2024 / 20 Marcheshvan 5785
To mark Rabbi Sacks’ fourth yahrzeit, we invite you to participate in the Global Day of Learning (formerly Communities in Conversation) celebrating his life, legacy, and teachings.
This year’s theme, The People of the Book, reflects a concept that Rabbi Sacks cherished – a commitment to learning, dialogue and the power of ideas.
Gather with your community, school, family or friends to explore the timeless wisdom of Rabbi Sacks. Whether you choose to invite guest speakers, explore Rabbi Sacks' teachings, or utilise our resources, you are encouraged to plan something in your own unique way.
If you have any questions about getting involved, please contact Louise at [email protected].
Learning Resources
We have prepared study pages, based on this year's theme, The People of the Book, designed to deepen your understanding of this idea.
