I only came upon the great teachings of Rabbi Sachs six years ago. His Torah, his brillance in history, world culture, politics and philosophy are all woven together in easy understandable lessons for living life. May his neshama study even deeper insights with that of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, David and Solomon.

A wonderful lecture by rabbi Jonathan Sacks on the meaning of what is a Succah. Man does not need a glamorous dwelling of bricks and mortar-he can dwell in a Succah. The Succah is a temporary dwelling-a dwelling where one can enjoy the festival of Succot. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks was a wonderful communicator and Orator He was an historian,a learned man and a proud Jew. His death is sadness. May his memory be a blessing And May we as Jews follow in his footsteps celebrate Sukkot. In a Succah as Jews did in history

Great lecture Rabbi Singer. Wicked men have mid-led generations of probably good people. They had absolutely no fear of disobeying Deuteronomy 4:2. Or rearranging the books of Torah, miss leading a mass of people. And committing atrocities in the name of religion.. christians are well aware of world history and their involvement in it….Great Torah study Rabbi Singer “Light unto the Nations.”.

At 32:30 Rabbi Sacks of Blessed Memory makes an oblique reference to the spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle, author of the mega-selling 'The Power of Now'. I knew Eckhart as Ully, the diminutive of Ulrich, when he was an unassuming post-graduate student at Cambridge, long before he became one of the most widely read spiritual intellectuals of his generation, someone worthy of an honourable mention by Rabbi Sacks, arguably himself the greatest of all public intellectual in his day. To his friends, Ully radiated humility and charisma in equal measure. To his followers, Jew and non-Jew alike, Rabbi Sacks' great legacy lives on...

I was compelled to revisit your comments on the Kohelet in the light of your untimely and tragic departure. The notion of ‘resting in peace’ has always struck me as supportive of the Kohelet’s initial premise as that death is the ultimate demise. However, I would like to believe your busy in paradise.
