She had the honour of working closely with Rabbi Sacks for over 20 years. A Letter in the ScrollA BRIEF OVERVIEW Twenty years since A Letter in the Scroll was first published, this book continues to act as a crucial voice in the conversation of what it means to have faith, to be a Jew, and to build a better world.Written originally as a wedding gift to his son and daughter-in-law, this is Rabbi Sacks’ personal answer to the question, ‘Why Am I A Jew?’, and his response is a testimony to the enduring strength of his religion.Tracing the revolutionary series of philosophical and theological ideas that Judaism created - from covenant to sabbath to formal education—and showing us how they remain compellingly relevant in our time, Sacks portrays Jewish identity as an honour as well as a duty.In a way that is both timely and timeless, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks questions how, in the face of such adversity, has Judaism remained and flourished, making a mark on human history out of all proportion to its numbers? And how, in this speedily changing world, can it continue to do so?A Letter in the Scroll was also published under the title Radical Then, Radical Now. Books and Beyond: The Rabbi Sacks Podcast

And how, in this speedily changing world, can it continue to do so?If a single letter in a Torah scroll is damaged, missing, or incorrectly drawn, then a Torah scroll is considered invalid. We can understand the Jewish people by seeing them as a living Torah scroll. Every individual Jew represents a letter within it, for every individual is considered a crucial part of the people, without whom the entire religion would suffer. Rabbi Sacks uses this metaphor to make a passionate argument for why we must understand the importance of our heritage, our Jewish purpose, and our role in continuing the chain of Jewish generations. Never has a book more eloquently expressed the joys of being a Jew.This is the story of one man’s hope for the future - a future in which the next generation, his children and ours, will happily embrace the beauty of the world’s oldest religion.A Letter in the Scroll was also published under the title Radical Then, Radical Now.Our featured guest:Dr Erica Brown is the Vice Provost for Values and Leadership at Yeshiva University and the founding director of its Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks-Herenstein Center for Values and Leadership.
