British Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks is the premier public intellectual of Judaism in the English-speaking world and has no obvious counterpart in the communities of Judaism conducted in other languages. No one in Israeli intellectual life competes ...This book joins with its predecessors...to form an oeuvre of moral authority and compelling logic.

There is much of great wisdom here, for readers of all faiths and none.
