The Rabbi Sacks Archive at the National Library of Israel: Workshop
Jewish Book Week 2025
| Speaker | Joanna Benarroch |
|---|---|
| Speaker | Rachel Misrati |
Insights into the remarkable archive of Rabbi Sacks, preserved at The National Library of Israel.
The National Library of Israel has the honour and cherished responsibility to catalogue and preserve Rabbi Sacks’ archive – making it accessible to people from around the world for generations to come. NLI Archivist Rachel Misrati, in conversation with Joanna Benarroch, Global Chief Executive, Rabbi Sacks Legacy, will give insights into how she has approached this undertaking and a preliminary glimpse of some of the treasures she has discovered.
This event will last approximately 1 hour.
About the speakers:

As Executive Director, Joanna had responsibility for running a very busy public office with multi-faceted roles, managing a wonderful team and supporting Rabbi Sacks in his day-to-day activities. When Rabbi Sacks stepped down as Chief Rabbi in 2013, Joanna transitioned to jointly run his private office.
Since Rabbi Sacks’ passing in November 2020, Joanna established the Rabbi Sacks Legacy to perpetuate Rabbi Sacks’ values and teachings.
