The Contradictions of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, who died on Shabbat at the age of 72, had the unlikeliest beginning in life for one the generation’s most renowned Orthodox rabbis and philosophers. Despite growing up in a traditional family, going from his Church of England primary school to Christ's College high school and then Gonville and Caius College at Cambridge, until his early twenties - when he traveled to Israel and spent time in a Chabad yeshiva - he had no formal Jewish education.
