On the occasion of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks’ fifth yahrzeit, Justin sits down with Dr. Erica Brown to explore the legacy of Rabbi Sacks and the launch of the Magerman Edition Koren Shalem Humash, featuring his new Torah translation and commentary.

Together, they discuss:
Rabbi Sacks’ unique voice as an interpreter of Torah
The vision behind this new Humash
The enduring lessons of Rabbi Sacks for Jewish life and thought today
The role of commentary and interpretation today
