What Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks’ State of the Jewish World Teaches Us Today
In 2014, the late Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks stood on the AJC Global Forum stage and delivered a powerful call to action: “We have to celebrate our Judaism. We have to have less oy and more joy… We never defined ourselves as victims. We never lost our sense of humor. Our ancestors were sometimes hated by gentiles, but they defined themselves as the people loved by God.” Over a decade later, at AJC Global Forum 2025, AJC’s Director of Jewish Communal Partnerships, Meggie Wyschogrod Fredman, revisits that message in a special crossover episode between People of the Pod...

“The eyes of The Lord” – “Jonathan Defeats the Philistines”
“The Eyes of The Lord” – “Jonathan Defeats the Philistines” - 1 Samuel 14:6 Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, "Come, let's go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised fellows. Perhaps the LORD will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few." The Lord is with you when you are with Him. Jonathan was with God. He served God. When the Lord works with us, things change. 2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have d...

"We had no idea how timely it would become; just hours later, terrorists from the self-proclaimed Islamic State unleashed a series of mass shootings and suicide bombings on multiple sites in Paris. The former Chief Rabbi of Great Britain helps us understand what draws people to religious violence and how it can be stopped."

Is the Lord Really My Shepherd?
Among Christians, some of the most often quoted and beloved Old Testament scriptures are found in Psalm 23. In very few words, these six verses paint a vivid picture of God’s overwhelming care for His children. The imagery of a shepherd knowing and caring for his sheep speaks to our helplessness as we as God’s children attempt to navigate the harsh terrain of a sin-sick world. Without our shepherd the tumult of everyday life makes it is hard to find true spiritual nourishment. Without our shepherd we would not find absolute rest and would always feel vulnerable.

STT 083 - Aren't You Glad Christ Commands the Lord's Supper (HC LD 28, QA 75-77)
Sometimes commands leave a bitter taste in our mouths. Why is that? If God's good commands leave a bad taste in our mouth, perhaps we don't love what is being commanded. God commands the Lord's Supper; we must obey Him by participating. That said, do we love the promises God gives us in the Lord's Supper? To learn more about the sacraments and how to benefit from them, check out these GREAT resources: Heidelberg Catechism 65-82; Westminster Shorter Catechism 88-97 and Westminster Larger Catechism 161-177; Belgic Confession articles 33-35.

31 Emor - Radical Uncertainty | Insights from the Weekly Torah Portion with Rabbi Jonathan Kligler
Chapter 23 of Leviticus describes the annual cycle of Jewish Holy Days. The description culminates with Sukkot, and we are instructed to rejoice and to remember that we dwelt in sukkot, temporary, portable shelters for 40 years as we wandered in the wilderness. But why should dwelling in temporary, fragile shelters be a source of joy? Following Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks brilliant commentary, we explore how to nurture joy in the face of our fragile and uncertain futures.

"I Believe" - An Introduction to Covenant & Conversation 5780
Covenant & Conversation is the name of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks' weekly commentary on the parsha. As he writes in the introduction to the 5780 series: "We don’t merely read the Torah. We bring to it our time, our lives, our most attentive listening, and our deepest existential commitments. My own beliefs have been formed in that ongoing conversation with the biblical text that is part of the Jewish mind and the Jewish week. Which is why, to emphasise this personal engagement, I’ve decided to call this year’s series of Covenant & Conversation, ‘I Believe,’ as a way of saying, this is ho...

Our trilogy of The Lord of the Rings retrospectives comes to a close this week, as we dive deep with The Return of the King, the final installment in Peter Jackson’s legendary adaptation. Sixteen years later, does the film hold up as well as its predecessors, and what do we see in it now, older and in the context of a very different cinematic and cultural landscape, that we could not glimpse then? It’s a long conversation befitting this absolute behemoth of a film, but we also make time to talk about Criterion’s announcement of their Godzil...

We try to strip all that back to look at the film itself, discussing our memories of seeing it for the first time, what it meant to u...

More Than a Snack: Recovering the Vitality of the Lord's Table
Recent personal discussions and observations of Eucharistic practices have made it abundantly clear to me that the vitality of the Lord’s Supper must be recovered in the church. I believe most local churches’ view of the Lord’s Table has veered so far off course that a track toward recovery is necessary. Not only do Pew and Barna statistics reveal a lack of deep spirituality in the church, but my own (and others’) personal observations have led me to this conclusion. Communion is not an option for the believer, i.e. it is a command and a crucia...

"Religion is not a threat" - Rabbi Sacks in conversation with Father Raymond de Souza at Cardus
The world, it seems, might be better off without religion. Witness the horrific violence of the Islamic State, or look across the ages and see crusades, inquisitions, and a European world awash in violence, all done in the name of religion. But what if, as Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks argues, religion is not the problem? What if the very potent idea of "religion" is often hijacked and abused by those who wield it with violence? Religion belongs here. This event by Cardus was recorded on 15th March 2016 at The Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto, Canada. Rabbi Sacks was in conversation...

Not in God's Name: Confronting Religious Violence - Rabbi Sacks speaks at The Brookings Institution
In his new book, "Not in God’s Name: Confronting Religious Violence," Rabbi Jonathan Sacks examines the recent phenomenon of violent extremism by exploring the origins of violence and its relationship to religion. Rabbi Sacks challenges the assertion that religion is an intrinsic source of violence and describes how theology can be central to combating religious violence and extremism. Through analysis of biblical texts tied to the three Abrahamic faiths, Rabbi Sacks illustrates how religiously-inspired violence stems from a critical misreading of these texts.
