Ethics
Why was Abraham ordered to sacrifice his son? Was Jacob right in stealing the blessings? Why were we commanded to destroy Amalek? What was Moses' sin in hitting the rock? And how did the Ten Commandments change the Jewish people, and humankind, for good? Essays on Ethics is the second companion volume to Rabbi Jonathan Sacks's celebrated series Covenant & Conversation. Believing the Hebrew Bible to be the ultimate blueprint for Western morality, Rabbi Sacks embarks upon an ethical exploration of the weekly Torah portion, uncovering its message of truth and justice, dignity and compassion, forgiveness and love.
Justice for All demonstrates that the Jewish Bible, by radically changing the course of ethical thought, came to exercise enormous influence on Jewish thought and law and also laid the basis for Christian ethics and the broader development of modern Western civilization. Jeremiah Unterman shows us persuasively that the ethics of the Jewish Bible represent a significant moral advance over Ancient Near East cultures. Moreover, he elucidates how the Bible's unique conception of ethical monotheism, innovative understanding of covenantal law, and revolutionary messages from the prophets form the foundation of many Western civilization ideals. Justice for All connects these timeless biblical texts to the persistent themes of our times: immigration policy, forgiveness and reconciliation, care for the less privileged, and attaining hope for the future despite destruction and exile in this world.

The Chofetz Chaim's Classic Work Illuminating the Power of Speech.
The winter of 2019-2020 rocked the world with the news that an unstoppable, deadly virus was spreading like wildfire. Within a matter of days, the world as we knew it disappeared. Confined to our houses and fearful of a virus that seemed to be overtaking every aspect of the lives we knew, the world could only watch as chaos reigned. Healthy people found themselves in hospital struggling to breathe, and thousands died.
This raised so many questions: What message is God sending us? How can we reconcile our belief in a just and caring God when sickness and death are running rampant?
Coronavirus forced many toward depression, breakdown, financial struggles, and marital strain. Fear, panic, and stress hung like black clouds over everyone’s heads.
I felt obligated to present an approach that would help people navigate this difficult time; presenting a clear method of returning to our core values, rather than relying on vague, undefined ideas. These topics include emunah, community, unity, responsibility, and many more.
The Hidden Crown is a collection of classes that I gave at the time, but these messages are as important today as they were then.
