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:

Joanna Benarroch joined the Office of the Chief Rabbi in 1997, and worked for Rabbi Sacks for 24 years. 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.

Rachel Misrati is an archivist at the National Library of Israel. A graduate of Oxford University, she is a doctoral student at Bar Ilan University in the field of early twentieth century Anglo-Jewish history. Rachel is a member of the Association of Israeli Archivist’s International Relations Committee and on the editorial board of the AIA’s periodical Arkhiyyon. She has published and lectured on various collections held in the National Library of Israel.
