Be more Jewish NOT less- Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sack at the Olami Summit 2017

Watch this powerful excerpt from an epic speech that was given to college students and young professionals at the Olami Summit in 2017. “Some are born great, some achieve greatness but some have greatness thrust upon them”. (Shakespeare) “I realized at a pretty early age I wasn't born great and I wasn't going to achieve greatness but at a certain point in my life while at university I suddenly realized that if you're a Jew you have greatness thrust upon you.” Over a decade ago, in response to the alarming rate of assimilation in the Jewish college communities across the globe, a number of benefactors joined together to launch a worldwide campus and young professional effort to reconnect Jews to their heritage, their faith, and their land and to inspire Jewish greatness within each of them. Now, over ten years later, Olami is a global community representing a united effort of organizations in over 300 locations around the world to secure an inspired, engaged, and knowledgeable Jewish tomorrow. With the Olami providing manpower, program development, and management, students all over the world are experiencing the exhilaration of Jewish living through textual study, Shabbat, seminars and trips, and most critically, through the eternal bond between the Diaspora Jew and the State of Israel.
