Celebrating Life

Following the painful loss of his father, former Chief Rabbi Sacks began to learn how to celebrate life in a new way.

Based, in part, on Rabbi Sacks’s collection of columns in the UK's Times newspaper, Celebrating Life is a series of reflections on subjects such as morality, friendship, listening to others, and giving thanks. It also discusses topics such as being a parent, finding and losing one’s faith, and most of all, finding happiness.

In Celebrating Life, Rabbi Sacks discovers where happiness lives, often in unexpected places, through family, community, friendship, and responsibilities. He also finds it through a renewed relationship with God, who spoke to his deepest needs.

This redesigned and reissued edition offers something for everyone, spanning people of all faiths and none. It shows us how to be human and, in becoming so, how we can touch the divine.
