Rabbi Jonathan Sacks’ A Letter in the Scroll has been widely praised as an engaging and informative journey through what it means to be Jewish. Taking the question of how Judaism has remained and flourished in the face of adversity, Sacks offered a personal answer, composing a moving testimonial to its enduring strength, portraying Jewish identity as both an honor and duty.
Join panelists Natan Sharansky (who has written a new forward for the book’s 20th anniversary edition), Michal Cotler-Wunsh, and Dan Senor for a discussion moderated by Rabbi David Ingber focusing on the lessons of A Letter in the Scroll and how Rabbi Sacks’ wisdom on Jewish identity, continuity, and responsibility remain uniquely relevant today.
“I am a Jew because, knowing the story of my people, I hear their call to write the next chapter. I did not come from nowhere; I have a past, and if any past commands anyone this past commands me. I am a Jew because only if I remain a Jew will the story of a hundred generations live on in me. I continue their journey because, having come this far, I may not let it and them fail. I cannot be the missing letter in the scroll.” – Rabbi Sacks, A Letter in the Scroll
