The Rabbi Sacks Global Day of Learning in Schools 2022
Welcome to our new annual day of learning in memory of Rabbi Sacks, marking his yahrzeit and uniting schools all around the world in a shared goal.
Monday 14 November 2022
For Communities
Communities in Conversation is a global day of learning in memory of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks zt”l, marking his yahrzeit annually.
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks was one of the greatest Jewish thinkers of our generation. He was a teacher of Torah, a moral voice, and a leader of leaders, and he left behind words and teachings that will be his everlasting legacy.
To mark Rabbi Sacks’ second yahrzeit, join together with schools all around the world to commemorate and celebrate his life, his Torah, and the impact he made.
This annual event will allow your students to delve deeper into the wisdom and beauty of Rabbi Sacks’ ideas, in a way that is targeted towards their age-group.
The Rabbi Sacks Legacy has developed new educational resources, specially designed for educators participating in this Global Day of Learning. This year’s chosen theme is “From Optimism to Hope”, a profound idea often expressed by Rabbi Sacks.
Teaching Resources
Three educators' guides, developed to assist in teaching students the theme of From Optimism to Hope:
Learning Resources
These pages aim to enhance your understanding of this theme, by referencing Rabbi Sacks' videos, articles, and biblical extracts, as well as quotes, and discussion questions. Depending on the academic level of your students, you may wish to share the above resources with them, or you may prefer to simply use one of the three educator's guides as you run through the ideas with your students.
