A Day of Worldwide Learning in Memory of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks זצ׳׳ל
Share
To mark the first yahrzeit (anniversary of the passing of) Rabbi Sacks, on 25-26 October 2021 (20 Marcheshvan 5782), The Rabbi Sacks Legacy launched a new programme of learning, and invited individuals, families, schools, organisations, and communities from around the world to come together to remember the impact Rabbi Sacks made on the Jewish world and beyond, and to learn and teach some of his Torah in his memory.
Over 150 groups around the world participated in the inaugural annual event.
Watch the Dvar Torah delivered by Gila Sacks (Rabbi Sacks' youngest daughter) to launch this new initiative.
Five units of learning were produced by the Rabbi Sacks Legacy, and each one included a video, multiple sources, and discussion questions to guide participating groups (and individuals) through a particular focus of Rabbi Sacks’ writings. The resources are available to download on the main Communities in Conversation page.
If you or your community, organisation, or school would like to get involved, or learn more about this initiative in the future, please contact [email protected].
May the soul of Rabbi Sacks be elevated in merit of the learning we will do in his memory.
