Baruch Dayan Ha’Emet. It with the deepest sadness that we regret to inform you that Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks (HaRav Ya’akov Zvi ben David Arieh z’’l) passed away Saturday 7th November 2020 (Shabbat Kodesh 20th MarCheshvan 5781). "Judaism gave two majestic ideas their greatest religious expression: memory and hope. Memory is our living connection to those who came before us. Hope is what we hand on to the generations yet to come. those we remember live on in us: in words, ges...tures, a smile here, an act of kindness there, that we would not have done had that person not left their mark on our lives." - commentary taken from the Mahzor by Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks zt"l The Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue joins the millions around the world in expressing our deepest condolences to the family of Rabbi Lord Sacks, a visionary, scholar and most of all a kind and humble leader.
