Author: Jonathan Sacks
In Arguments for the Sake of Heaven, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks explores contemporary issues that influence Judaism and the controversies that affect its destiny. Setting out the traditional alternatives proposed by Rabbis Samson Raphael Hirsch, Moses Sofer, Abraham Isaac Kook, and Joseph Soloveitchik, Rabbi Sacks uses these models to examine today’s Jewish communities in the United States, England, and Israel. He proposes that in order to achieve Jewish unity, there must be “a candid acknowledgment of what divides Jews and an attempt to locate those divisions within the framework of tradition.”
