Students from JFS and Yavneh honoured the memory of Rabbi Lord Sacks by taking part in a month-long programme of learning.
They studied the classical teachings of Ethics of the Fathers as well as some of the sayings of the Emeritus Chief Rabbi, using a specially produced 36-page booklet.
While the two schools could not physically come together to mark the end of their learning for the shloshim —the 30-day period of mourning — they made a short film which was sent to parents.
JFS headteacher Rachel Fink, reflecting on Rabbi Sacks’s emphasis on Jewish education, said what better way was there to honour his memory than for the schools “to unite through the learning of Torah”.
