Description

"Jewish faith is not mysterious. It is born neither in private experiences nor
abstract theologies but in institutions: the Jewish home, the Jewish school and
above all the Jewish community, the place where we assemble as a microcosm
of an entire people in the presence of God. In this story of Jewish identity,
the United Synagogue holds an honourable place. It did so in the past. I
pray that it does so long into the future."
- Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
For the 125th anniversary of the United Synagogue, during his time as Chief
Rabbi, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks wrote Community of Faith, a penetrating
evaluation of the role of the synagogue in Jewish life today.
The book explores the choices faced by religious leadership in the modern
world and the ways in which the synagogue embodies a living community
of faith. It analyses the importance of morality and faith for Jewish individu-
als and the community, and suggests ways in which the synagogue can be
renewed as a centre of meaning and belonging.
It examines one such community in particular, the group of British congrega-
tions known as the United Synagogue. At the heart of the United Synagogue
is an idea - one which governed and inspired Jewish communities for many
centuries but has proved difficult to sustain in the modern world. In this
book, Rabbi Sacks describes the history and theology of this idea and shows
why its importance extends far beyond the boundaries of Anglo-Jewry.
