In September 2011, Rabbi Sacks delivered his Selichot address at the midnight service in Western Marble Arch Synagogue.

The service included music from the Shabbaton Choir with Rabbi Lionel Rosenfeld and Chazzan Jonny Turgel. This video is just the second part of the full sermon given by Rabbi Sacks.

Watch this inspirational address to learn how Rabbi Sacks outlined our three choices as we face up to crisis, on a personal and national level.

Three Responses to Crisis: A Midnight Selichot Address from Rabbi Sacks (Sept. 2012)

What is Judaism? It is a way of thinking, a constellation of ideas: a way of understanding the world and our place within it. Judaism contains life-changing ideas.

Each week as part of his Covenant & Conversation series for 5778, Rabbi Sacks will explore a single life-changing idea in the Hebrew Bible. You can download a written version of his commentary from www.RabbiSacks.org.

Covenant and Conversation 5778 is kindly supported by the Maurice Wohl Charitable Foundation in memory of Maurice and Vivienne Wohl z”l.

'The Consolations of Mortality'| Chukat, Covenant & Conversation 5778

"I am delighted to share with you the newest cycle of Covenant & Conversation essays on the weekly parsha (Torah reading). I am particularly excited to introduce a Family Edition accompaniment to this year's series which has two main aims. First, to present the ideas in Covenant & Conversation in a simplified way, making my ideas more accessible to children and teenagers. Second, to act as an educational resource for parents, teachers and anyone else to engage their children and students in meaningful and stimulating conversations about the parsha."
