Britain’s Prince Charles eulogized Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, the former chief rabbi of the United Kingdom who passed away Saturday from cancer.
“It was with the most profound personal sorrow that I heard of the death of Rabbi Lord Sacks,” Prince Charles says in an official statement. “With his passing, the Jewish community, our nation, and the entire world have lost a leader whose wisdom, scholarship and humanity were without equal.
“His immense learning spanned the sacred and the secular, and his prophetic voice spoke to our greatest challenges with unfailing insight and boundless compassion. His wise counsel was sought and appreciated by those of all faiths and none, and he will be missed more than words can say."
