Be the Letter in the Scroll; Celebrating the Legacy of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

The evening will highlight the ongoing work of the Rabbi Sacks Legacy, disseminating his inspirational insights and supporting new scholarship. We’ve engaged leading entertainers and educators who will inform and inspire, particularly on the vital themes central to Rabbi Sacks’ work – combating antisemitism, and embracing Jewish identity, continuity, and responsibility – all especially relevant today.

Gila Sacks, Rabbi Sacks’ youngest daughter, will join as our honored guest, and the event will be hosted by Tony and Emmy Award Winner Alex Edelman, promising an evening of both thoughtful reflection and inspiration.

Don't miss this opportunity to engage with thought leaders and gain a deeper appreciation for the timeless messages in A Letter in the Scroll. Whether you are a long-time admirer of Rabbi Sacks or new to his work, this discussion promises to be both inspiring and thought-provoking.

A Letter in the Scroll was published in the United States in 2000 during Rabbi Sacks' first decade as Chief Rabbi, and later published in the UK as . Now available in Hebrew and on Kindle, it remains a significant work on religious and Jewish identity.

In 2015, Rabbi Sacks and his team launched a series of whiteboard animations to share his teachings online with younger audiences. The first video, based on the closing chapter of A Letter in the Scroll, was titled "Why I Am A Jew," and became an instant success.

In December 2023, a booklet containing the final chapter from A Letter in the Scroll was distributed to 50,000 IDF soldiers. Additionally, the Paul E. Singer Foundation sponsored a free online publication of the chapter "Who Am I? Who Are We?" for the Sacks Conversation 2023 event.
