Thoughts for Ellul: "The Future of the Past" - recorded by Rabbi Sacks in 2014

The Office of Rabbi Sacks

In 2014 Rabbi Sacks recorded six thoughts for Ellul, providing wisdom and guidance as he reflected on the year gone by, and the new year soon to begin. In this third message, Rabbi Sacks reflects on biblical figures such as Noah, and Lot's wife, and draws a unique comparison to Rosh Hashanah, through an outlook he gained from his close relationship with many Holocaust survivors. Recorded ten years ago, this remains a remarkably timely message for us all. Find the full recordings here: rabbisacks.org/archive/thoughts-for-ellul/
