Summer Learning Opportunity with Shir Shalom (Woodstock)
This summer the Shir Shalom community is invited to join Rabbi Haigh in an exploration of the thinking of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. ז׳׳ל . Rabbi Sacks was described by King Charles III as “a light unto this nation” and by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair as “an intellectual giant.” Rabbi Sacks has also been a deeply spiritual voice in our own Shir Shalom weekly Torah study.
In his final book, Morality, Restoring the Common Good in Divided Times (2020), Rabbi Sacks, the author of dozens of books expanded on his thoughts as outlined in Not In God’s Name (2025) and The Dignity of Difference, How to Avoid the Clash of Civilizations (2002). We will use these three brilliant books as the basis for our learning. An Orthodox Rabbi, Chief Rabbi of Great Britain, his teaching and his voice are cautionary, deeply inspiring and offer us hope and wisdom in these divided times. Please join us at the temple at 11:00 am three Monday mornings this summer. This learning will be repeated after the high holidays on Sunday mornings for the Hebrew School Community and those unable to attend during the week.
We hope that you will join this learning
Monday mornings June 22, July 20 and August 24
11:00 am at Shir Shalom
Out of state guests will be welcome to join on Zoom.
