The Union for Traditional Judaism mourns the recent passing of Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. Deeply rooted in the authentic Jewish tradition, Rabbi Sacks’ brilliant eloquence on fundamental religious and moral issues has had a profound influence on Jews and non-Jews everywhere. His faithful wisdom not only spoke to us, but also spoke for us. We are most grateful for his presence in our midst. We pray that his influence for good throughout the world will long survive him. May God comfort Rabbi Sacks’ family and all of us who mourn with them. “A prince, a great one in Israel has fallen today!” (II Samuel 3:38)
