The Shalem Siddur is available in in hardcover, soft cover, flex cover and festive Emanuel cover in a convenient, compact size.

Impassioned, erudite, thoroughly researched, and beautifully reasoned, The Great Partnership argues not only that science and religion are compatible, but that they complement each other--and that the world needs both.

Atheism deserves better than the new atheists, states Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, whose methodology consists of criticizing religion without understanding it, quoting texts without contexts, taking exceptions as the rule, confusing folk belief with reflective theology, abusing, ridiculing, and demonizing religious faith and holding it responsible for the great crimes against humanity. Religion has done harm; I acknowledge that. But the cure for bad religion is good religion, not no religion, just as the cure for bad science is good science, not the abandonment of science. Rabbi Sacks's counterargument is that religion and science are the two essential perspectives that allow us to see the universe in its three-dimensional depth. Science teaches us where we come from. Religion explains to us why we are here. Science is the search for explanation. Religion is the search for meaning. There have been times when religion tried to dominate science. And there have been times, including our own, when it is believed that we can learn all we need to know about meaning and relationships through biochemistry, neuroscience, and evolutionary psychology. In this fascinating look at the interdependence of religion and science, Rabbi Sacks explains why both views are tragically wrong.

With liberal democracy embattled, our public discourse growing increasingly toxic, family life breaking down, and drug abuse and depression on the rise, many fear what the future holds. In Morality, respected faith leader and public intellectual Jonathan Sacks traces today's crisis to our loss of a strong, shared moral code and our elevation of self-interest over the common good. Sacks leads readers from ancient Greece to the Enlightenment to the present day to show that there is no liberty without morality and no freedom without responsibility, arguing that we all must play our part in rebuilding a common moral foundation. 
 
A major work of philosophy, this is an inspiring vision of a world in which we can all find our place and face the future without fear.

Following his death in November 2020, voices from around the world celebrated Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks' incalculable contribution to the religious life of the Jewish community, as well as the global conversation on issues of ethics and morality.

This volume brings together the most compelling selection of Jonathan Sacks' BBC Radio broadcasts, columns from The Times, and a range of articles published in the world's most respected newspapers, along with his House of Lords speeches and keynote lectures.

First heard and read in many different contexts, these pieces demonstrate with striking coherence the developing power of Sacks' ideas, on faith and philosophy alike. In each instance he brings to bear deep insights into the immediate situation at the time - and yet it is as if we hear him speaking to us afresh, giving us new strength to face the challenges and complexities of today's world.

His words of faith and wisdom shine as a beacon of enduring light in an increasingly conflicted cultural climate, and prove the timeless nature and continued relevance of his thought and teachings.

The choice with which humankind is faced is between the idea of power and power of ideas.

Rabbi Sacks passionately argues for the importance of faith and religious values in today's consumerist society with crystalline intelligence and deep compassion.
What is the role of religion in a secular society? This is the question that Rabbi Sacks answered in his seminal 1990 Reith Lectures. Now reissued thirty years on, his prescient and moving argument for the renewal of religious values is powerfully relevant to our present moment. In a series of acclaimed essays, Rabbi Sacks addresses the fact that religion often appears on the world stage as a destabilising threat to liberal democracies - from the influence of the moral majority in the USA to the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the renewed vigour of Catholicism in Europe and Africa, there are many who fear the resurgence of faith.

However, Sacks' solution is not to drive religion further into retreat and promote secularisation. Instead, he argues tolerance must lie at the heart of this renewal of traditional values. Faiths of many different kinds can together provide a cohesive morality to unite us all despite our differences and provide meaning and dignity in an otherwise consumerist society. It is essential that religions, as Sacks eloquently argues, respect the unconditional rights of their fellow humans regardless of their faiths, or lack of faith, while working together towards this common good.

Here, the Chief Rabbi has selected his favorite Thoughts for the Day for publication.

Rabbi Sacks' well-deserved reputation as a writer and broadcaster in the UK has followed him to North America with the success of The Dignity of Difference. His clear, calm voice brings hope and encouragement to all of us struggling to come to terms with modern, turbulent times.

In the UK, that calm voice is frequently heard on the country's most popular morning BBC radio news show. He regular presents a Thought for the Day in which he addresses a current issue with characteristic brevity and clarity.

The result is a book that will appeal to a very wide audience - people with religious belief and those with little or none.

The Dignity of Difference is Rabbi Jonathan Sacks's radical proposal for reconciling hatreds.

The year 2001 began as the United Nations Year of Dialogue between Civilizations. By its end, the phrase that came most readily to mind was 'the clash of civilizations.' The tragedy of September 11 intensified the danger caused by religious differences around the world. As the politics of identity begin to replace the politics of ideology, can religion become a force for peace?

The first major statement by a Jewish leader on the ethics of globalization, it also marks a paradigm shift in the approach to religious coexistence. Sacks argues that we must do more than search for values common to all faiths; we must also reframe the way we see our differences.
