Gila Saks, the daughter of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks ztz"l - the Chief Rabbi of Great Britain - who passed away two years ago, spoke at a memorial service, held about two weeks ago at Carnegie Hall in New York. In her words, she brought up what her father would have said about the difficult time the people of Israel are going through in Israel and in the diaspora: "Despair - is not an emotion of the Jewish people. Don't give up, don't forget why we are here."
Following the speech, Sacks was contacted by Israeli artists who saw the speech and asked for permission to edit it with photos and video clips from the last weeks of the war in Israel. The moving result brings her words to all corners of the world.
