We remember Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, the former chief rabbi of the U.K. and the Commonwealth, who died last week. He was one of the world’s deep thinkers on religion and the challenges of modern life. In an intimate conversation with Krista in 2010, he reflected on how to be true to one’s own truths and convictions while also honoring the sacred and civilizational calling to shared life.

This is an archived version of the original live stream of the conversation.

About the Guest:
Jonathan Sacks was Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth for 22 years. He taught and spoke all over the world, with appointments at King’s College London and at New York University and Yeshiva University in the U.S. His many books include The Dignity of Difference: How to Avoid the Clash of Civilizations, The Great Partnership: Science, Religion, and the Search for Meaning, and most recently, Morality: Restoring the Common Good in Divided Times.
