Rabbi Meir Soloveichik

SACRED TIME: A JOURNEY THROUGH THE JEWISH HOLIDAYS, a new series exploring how Jewish foods and festivals, rituals and holidays, illuminate the Jewish meaning of life. New episodes will be released throughout the Jewish year—on the honey of Rosh Hashanah and the repentance of Yom Kippur, on the palm frond of Sukkot and the miracles of Hanukkah, on the costumes of Purim and the new festivals of modern Israel. The Sacred Time series has been generously sponsored by the Rosenthal family in honor of the contribution of Roger Hertog and the Tikvah Fund to Jewish continuity.

RABBI DR. MEIR Y. SOLOVEICHIK is one of the leading contemporary voices on faith in America, and rabbi of Congregation Shearith Israel, the oldest Jewish congregation in the United States. He serves as the Director of the Zahava and Moshael Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought at Yeshiva University. He is the Becket Fund’s 2018 Canterbury Medalist for Religious Liberty.
