About This Text

Author: Jonathan Sacks
Covenant & Conversation is a 21st-century five-volume collection of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks’s essays on the weekly Torah portion. The books fuse Jewish tradition with Western philosophy and literature to present a developed understanding of the human condition under God’s sovereignty. Sacks explores the intersections of past and present, moment and eternity, as they relate to universal concerns of freedom, love, responsibility, identity, and destiny.
