Rabbi Jonathan Sacks on Morality
About the Event:
"If we care for the future of democracy, we must recover that sense of shared morality that binds us to one another,” writes Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks in his new book Morality. Sacks contends “we are living through a cultural climate change,” in which relying on competition-based institutions like the market and the state poses a threat to building a caring and compassionate society. Join Rabbi Sacks and Yale law professor Amy Chua for a conversation about restoring the common good in these divided times.
