Behind every great man, is a great team, and I had the privilege to Speak with Dan Sacker and my mother Joanna Benarroch, the team who ran Rabbi Sacks Zt”l’s office. Rabbi Sacks Zt”l who passed away on 7th November 2020 was a Religious leader, philosopher, author, moral voice and Templeton Prize Laureate. He impacted millions around the world with his incredible Torah, and we get the insight into who he was when he wasn’t in the public sphere. We speak on how his loss impacted the team, and the impact he had on their own personal lives. From joining us in our succah, to calling Dan during his son’s heart surgery, learn about Rabbi Sacks in a way you’ve never before from those closest to him.
