Today’s Daf Yomi page, Rosh Hashanah 12, reminds us that our actions can literally change the world. But how? In a TED Talk he gave in 2017, the late Rabbi Jonathan Sacks addressed just this question, and as the anniversary of his passing approaches, we are honored to share it again. How can we all work together, without fear, and bring about real, sustainable change? Listen and find out.
