  Jonathan Sacks Information
Sir Jonathan Henry Sacks (born 1948, London) is the Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom's main body of Orthodox synagogues.
Sacks is also still recognised as the Chief Rabbi of the Hong Kong Jewish community, a role he was asked to retain after Hong Kong returned from British to Chinese rule.
Rabbi Sacks provoked considerable controversy in the Anglo-Jewish community when he refused to attend the funeral service of the late Reform Rabbi Hugo Gryn and a private letter he had written in Hebrew, which some people suggested in translation claimed that Reform Jews are "dividers of the faith", was leaked and published.

 Jonathan Freedland talks to Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited
Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks has always wielded more clout than the size of his 280,000 strong flock would suggest, but now he has embarked on his most ambitious mission yet: to map out a way for different cultures to get along in a globalised world.
Sacks' manoeuvre is to see the problem as the solution; to view difference not as a difficulty to be overcome, but as the very essence of life.
Sacks has maintained no such position, so that even now - 11 years into a term that began when he was 43 and could run until he is 65 - many Jews admit that they can't quite pin down his views on this most urgent of questions.

 Exclusive Interview With Rabbi Jonathan Sacks: A Call To Responsibility
Rabbi Sacks, who is chief rabbi of Great Britain, has written for a general audience including non-Jews, yet has firmly grounded his thoughts on a Jewish perspective, and does so with ample sources.
Rabbi Sacks also takes on the accusation of Karl Marx that religion allows the oppressed and trampled-on masses to live with the status quo and that it gives them succor to withstand life but not the courage to try to change it.
As Rabbi Sacks said in an interview with The Jewish Press, "British Jewry has never really gone for Jewish education in a big way." One effort to counter this, he said, is this book — which is intended for committed Jews as well.

 BBC NEWS | UK | Profile: Dr Jonathan Sacks
Dr Sacks was born in 1948 and married in 1970.
Published a year after the events of 9/11, Dr Sacks said the only route to peace would be through each of us learning how to respect and rejoice in each other's differences, whatever our convictions or heritage.
But during the height of the uproar, Dr Sacks argued his book's radicalism was not in that it had departed from Judaism - but that it had explored answers to modern crises from firmly within an orthodox faith.
