In 2018, for the launch of the Covenant & Conversation Family Edition series, Rabbi Sacks wrote: We hope you'll find this a useful resource to engage in a meaningful conversation about our Torah with our children and the next generation. Participating in that conversation, and encouraging your children to participate with you, is a major part of what it is to be a Jew, because we are the people who never stopped learning the Book of Life, our most precious gift from the God of Life. There is nothing more beautiful or life affirming than learning Torah with your children. Give them the space not only to be your students, but also to be your teachers, and they will grow tall. That's how we can truly secure the Jewish future.
