Written by Benjy Singer – Rabbi Sacks: Top educators reflect on his first yahrzeit. As we mark the first anniversary of his death, The Jerusalem Report heard the personal memories of four leading international Jewish educators of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. “Benjy, we need to realize that the key to successful Jewish education is nurturing and maintaining positive and meaningful relationships with our students. ” Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks said these words to me when I interviewed him in his office more than 25 years ago when doing research for my master’s degree thesis, and how true they are. Whether we knew him personally or not, Sacks had an influence on so many of us. A year after his death, we are all mourning that special relationship we had with him.
