Rabbi Meir Soloveichik wrote a tribute piece in the Wall Street Journal entitled "What Gentiles can Learn from Lord Sacks". Awarding the Genesis Prize Lifetime Achievement Award to Rabbi Sacks posthumously in late 2021, Israeli President Isaac Herzog paid tribute to him and praised him as “a master articulator of the Jewish foundation of universal values" who "unapologetically verbalized a proud, dignified Jewish identity.” References External links 1948 births 2020 deaths Academics of King's College London Academics of Middlesex University Academics of Newcastle University Academics of the University of Essex Alumni of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge Alumni of King's College London Alumni of the London School of Jewish Studies Alumni of New College, Oxford British Jewish theologians Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs Chief rabbis of the United Kingdom Crossbench life peers Deaths from cancer in England English non-fiction writers English Orthodox rabbis English people of Jewish descent Fellows of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge Fellows of King's College London Holders of a Lambeth degree Jewish British politicians Jewish ethicists 20th-century English rabbis Knights Bachelor Modern Orthodox rabbis Ordained peers People educated at Christ's College, Finchley Rabbis from London Templeton Prize laureates Writers from London People's peers 21st-century English rabbis Life peers created by Elizabeth II
