Rabbi Jonathan Sacks’s (z’l) final book, MORALITY: Restoring the Common Good in Divided Times (published 2020 by Basic Books) will be the basis for a 5 session discussion series scheduled on Sundays between the end of Pesach and Shavuot

Rabbi Sacks’s writings are known internationally for his Jewish wisdom and his understanding of the important issues that bring together or divide peoples. This book is becoming a new essential for a modern Jewish library.

Each Zoom session will be led by different members of the Ohr Kodesh community. Reading the book is not required to participate, nor is attendance at all sessions. The program is           intended for adults, though interested teens are welcome.                      

Sign up on  to register for the series. There is no charge to members or the community.

A preview of the book is available on the publisher’s website HERE.
