b"Rabbi Mark Gottlieb,senior director of the Tikvah fund and respected intellectual spokesman responds to Rabbis Kivelevitz and Bechhofer'sRischa Daraiisa 10 which featured a woefully inadequate appreciation for Rabbi Jonathan Sacks,and helps put the late Rov's world view in perspective as well as finding surprising influences for the main current of Sacks' views on realistic Jewish activism.Joining Rabbi Kivelevitz on a special mid-week episode, Gottlieb expands a bit on the memoriam he penned for First Things and revisits the controversy caused by the first edition of The Dignity of Difference.Rabbi Gottlieb explains how significant it was that Alasdair MacIntyre and Charles Taylor, two of the most important philosophers of recent decades, joined twelve Jewish contributors to afestschriftin Rabbi Sacks\\u2019 honor, with MacIntyre authoring the lead essay.The pair compare and contrast the two seminal figures evoked by Rabbi Sacks who caused him to direct his life towards Jewish leadership, Rav Menachem Mendel Schneerson and Rav Yosef Dov Soloveichick, with Gottlieb making the case that the Chasidic Rebbe was the stronger influence.Kivelevitz notes how widely accepted Rabbi Sacks was as a spokesman and writer across the spectrum of Jewish Orthodoxy and mourns the vacuum created by his tragic death.Please leave us a review at ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcastvisit yeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
