Britain’s former Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks provided additional and amusing background details of his deeply moving visit to the Rebbe when he was a student at Cambridge University.
He shared the details during a conversation last month at the 92nd Street Y center in New York City, alongside Professor Simon Schama, author of “The Story of the Jews” and journalist David Gregory.
Rabbi Sacks, a global religious leader and philosopher, says his private audience ‘yechidus’ with the Rebbe had a “transformative impact” and was “an extraordinary moment that changed my life.”
“In Cambridge I met very very brilliant human beings. In the Lubavitcher Rebbe, for the first time, I met a holy human being, and that was to me very powerful,” he said in the conversation.
And though he has discussed the meeting in the past to Chabad crowds, in this talk the author of some 25 books openly discusses its profound and empowering impact, as well as a few lighthearted moments connected to us.
