The Jewish world lost an irreplacable icon of wisdom, intellect, and inspiration with the passing of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, zt"l, the former Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth. In January 2018, Rabbi Goldberg interviewed Rabbi Sacks in Boca Raton; now, for the first time, the interview is being made available publicly.In this episode, Rabbi Sacks goes Behind the Bima to discuss how he found meaning in prayer even when it was not easy, how he learned to recover from his early failures, and how he managed to keep his faith in G-d throughout his life. A special, meaningful conversation with someone whose absence will be felt deeply by many around the world.
