About This Text

Author: Jonathan Sacks
For the 125th anniversary of the United Synagogue, during his time as Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks wrote Community of Faith, an evaluation of the synagogue's role in Jewish life. The book explores the choices faced by religious leadership in the modern world and how the synagogue embodies a living community of faith. It analyzes the importance of morality and faith for Jewish individuals and the community and suggests ways the synagogue can be renewed as a center of meaning and belonging.
