All Things Considered on BBC Radio Wales today marks the death of one of Britain’s most influential religious leaders. Lord Jonathan Sacks was Chief Rabbi for 22 years, widely honoured far beyond his own community as an intellectual giant, an original thinker making profound teachings accessible to non-specialists. More than 20 books and many lecture tours gave him a global audience; millions listened to his regular broadcasts; and his views were widely sought. As Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregation of the Commonwealth, he carried responsibility for most Orthodox Jews, and walked some very difficult lines. But he persisted in setting out what he believed it meant to be Jewish. Roy Jenkins met Jonathan Sachs in 2009 when he published his book ‘Future Tense – a vision for Jews and Judaism in the global culture’.
