Rabbi Sacks' "State of the Jewish World" address delivered at the American Jewish Committee's 2014 Global Forum

On Monday 12th May, Rabbi Sacks delivered a keynote plenary address at the American Jewish Committee's 2014 Global Forum in Washington, DC. For the first time in its long history, Rabbi Sacks said, the Jewish people enjoy a secure and independent Jewish state as well as a free and vibrant Diaspora, but it also faces unprecedented challenges that can and must be addressed.

Watch a recording of this major speech to find out what these challenges are, how they can be tackled in the 21st century, and why, most importantly, a renewed recognition that Judaism is "less oy and more joy" would strengthen Jewish determination to persevere and prevail.
