*JFN mourns the untimely loss of Rabbi Sacks on November 7, 2020. Rabbi Sacks was a leader, a philosopher, a beacon of moral clarity, and wisdom in a perplexing era. He will be sorely missed.*

Ever since the days when Jacob and Esau struggled over their birthright, the Jewish religion has taught us the responsibility that comes with receiving and then building a personal Jewish legacy. 

In part three of our exclusive "Jewish Texts & Philanthropy" webinar series, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks explored this concept as it relates to the history of Jewish legacies in the Torah and  the modern world of today. 

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks was Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth from 1991-2013. Along with his writing and speaking, he holds academic positions at New York University, Yeshiva University, and King’s College London.
