About This Text
Author: Jonathan Sacks
Composed: 2015 CE
In this 21st-century companion volume to his celebrated series Covenant & Conversation, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks mines the weekly Torah portions for insights into the nature of power, authority, and leadership. Based on the understanding that no one is born a leader, the book explores the principles and perils of becoming one.
