Leil Shishi Event Honours Rabbi Jonathan Sacks זצ"ל

This past Thursday evening, our school hosted a special Leil Shishi programme marking the fourth yahrzeit of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks זצ"ל. The evening celebrated his remarkable legacy as a transformative leader in Jewish education and thought.
 
​Rabbi Cohen opened the programme by sharing how Rabbi Sacks, as a young university student in Cambridge, was inspired by a personal challenge from the Lubavitcher Rebbe זצ"ל to take responsibility for Klal Yisrael and make a lasting impact on the world. This encounter ignited a lifetime of impact, shaping Jewish education and spreading Torah values globally. Rabbi Rickman, a Rabbi Sacks Scholar, spoke about Rabbi Sacks’ profound influence and his emphasis on making a kiddush Hashem. He encouraged participants to follow Rabbi Sacks’ example of living with purpose and creating a kiddush Hashem through our actions.
 
The boys then explored Rabbi Sacks’ teachings through video clips on Tefillah, Torah, Mitzvos, Kiddush Hashem, and Eretz Yisrael, moving between groups to engage deeply with his insights. The engaging discussions brought Rabbi Sacks’ profound messages to life, allowing everyone to connect with his Torah and legacy on a personal level. The evening concluded with delicious pizza and meaningful conversations.
 
Rabbi Sacks זצ"ל left an enduring legacy of inspiring others to build a brighter world through Torah and mitzvos. May the memory of Rabbi Sacks זצ"ל continue to inspire Klal Yisrael and bring Bracha to our generation.
