Passing the Torch

This week we read Toldot, which tells the story of two siblings at odds with one another. A prominent scholar who referred to Jacob and Esau in his writings often was Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. In this post we refer you to his d’var Torah about Toldot and speak a little about his impact on Jewish learning. Just as Isaac passed the torch of the covenant to Jacob, Rabbi Sacks’ impact has passed the torch of Jewish learning to us.
