Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks

Six years after Rabbi Sacks’ passing, the good he brought into the world continues through the lives he touched and the people discovering his teachings for the first time. As we approach his yahrzeit, we are grateful to everyone helping us share the wisdom that has meant so much to so many, and still has so much to offer. -- To find learning resources for the Rabbi Sacks Global Day of Learning, visit rabbisacks.org/gdol To support our work in his memory, visit rabbisacks.org/donate

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks was known for his signature yellow tie, which he reserved for important speeches and special occasions. To have Council Member Dan Sacker wear that very tie as he co-hosted our gala dinner in Budapest was a tremendous honour. Dan worked closely with Rabbi Sacks during the final decade of his life and understands the tie's significance better than most. Gifted to him by Lady Elaine Sacks following the Chief Rabbi's passing, Dan now wears it only when blowing the shofar on Rosh Hashanah. With President Isaac Herzog in attendance, Dan shared the story behind this treasured symbol and paid tribute to Rabbi Sacks' commitment to being an agent of hope. As we mark Rabbi Sacks' sixth yahrzeit this Shabbat, we join Dan and our Council in honouring his extraordinary legacy and the hope he inspired in so many.
