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.
