ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks - Religious leader
In a world violently polarized by extremists, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks is proposing and advocating solutions to mounting religious intolerance.

Why you should listen

Rabbi Lord Sacks is one of Judaism's spiritual leaders, and he exercises a primary influence on the thought and philosophy of Jews and people of all faiths worldwide. Since stepping down as Chief Rabbi of the UK and Commonwealth in 2013, Rabbi Lord Sacks has become an increasingly well-known speaker, respected moral voice and writer. He has authored more than 30 books, the latest, Not in God's Name: Confronting Religious Violence, was published in 2015.

Granted a seat in the British House of Lords in 2009 and the winner of the 2016 Templeton Prize, Rabbi Lord Sacks is a key Jewish voice for universalism and an embrace of tolerance between religions and cultures. He rejects the "politics of anger" brought about by the way "we have acted as if markets can function without morals, international corporations without social responsibility and economic systems without regard to their effect on the people left stranded by the shifting tide." He also sees, as a key idea for faith in our times, that unity in heaven creates diversity on earth.

.من پێتان ده‌ڵێم
چونكه‌ ئه‌مه‌ریكا له‌ سه‌ره‌تا
,شه‌پۆڵ دوای شه‌پۆڵی كۆچبه‌ر
07:14
Because America was from the outset
a nation of wave after wave of immigrants,
144
422800
4296
07:19
so it had to create an identity
145
427120
2176
پێویستیان به‌وه‌ بوو شوناسێك دروست بكه‌ن
07:21
which it did by telling a story

which you learned at school,

،له‌ قوتابخانه‌ فێربووی

.گوێبیست بووی

07:30
Britain until recently
wasn't a nation of immigrants,
149
438240
3056
07:33
so it could take identity for granted.
150
441320
2456
.بۆیه‌ شوناس گرنگ نه‌بووه‌
07:35
The trouble is now
151
443800
1920
كێشه‌كه‌ ئه‌وه‌یه‌ ئێستا
ئه‌و دوو شته‌ ڕویانداهه‌رگیز
.نه‌ده‌بوایه‌ به‌یه‌كه‌وه‌ ڕویاندایه
07:39
that two things have happened
which shouldn't have happened together.
152
447040
3496
07:42
The first thing is in the West
we've stopped telling this story
153
450560
3296
یه‌كه‌م شت له‌ ڕۆژئاوا
ئه‌م چیڕۆكه‌ ناڵێنه‌وه‌
07:45
of who we are and why,
154
453880
1536
،ئێمه‌ كێین وبۆ

155
455440
1240
.ته‌نانه‌ت له‌ ئه‌مه‌ریكا

07:49
And at the same time,
156

07:51
immigration is higher
than it's ever been before.
157
459040
4856
07:55
So when you tell a story
and your identity is strong,
158
463920
3296
كاتێک کە چیڕۆكێك ده‌ڵێی
و شوناسه‌كه‌ت به‌هێزه‌

159

160
469400
2496
،به‌ڵام ئەگەر بوەستی له‌ گوتنی چیڕۆكه‌كه‌ت
08:03
your identity gets weak

'بۆ 'ئێمه‌ خه‌ڵكی ؟
09:15
Why "we the people?"
188
543120
1216
09:16
Because it says that we all

to the politics of all of us together,

ئه‌و ڕاستیه‌ جوان وناژیرانه‌
:بۆمان ده‌رده‌كه‌وێت

So here is my simple suggestion.
220
663120
2800
لێرە پێشنیارێكی بچوكم هه‌یه‌

11:22
and it might just help
to begin to change the world.
222
670240
3320
11:26
Do a search and replace operation
223
674400
3936
بگه‌ڕێ و كرداره‌كانت بگۆره‌
11:30
on the text of your mind,
224
678360
2736
،به‌و ده‌قه‌ی له‌ مێشكته‌

and wherever you encounter
the word "self,"
225
681120
3096
له‌ هه‌ركوێ ڕوبه‌ڕوی وشه‌ی "من" بوویت
11:36
substitute the word "other."
226
684240
2360
به‌ وشه‌ی "ئه‌ویتر" بیگۆڕه‌وه‌
11:39
So instead of self-help, other-help;
227
687400
3256
له‌بری خۆیارمه‌تی دان،
یارمه‌تی دانی ئه‌وانیتر
11:42
instead of self-esteem, other-esteem.
228
690680
3560
.له‌ جیاتی قه‌دری خۆت، قه‌دری ئه‌وانی تر
،ئه‌گه‌ر ئه‌وه‌ بكه‌یت
11:47
And if you do that,
229
695240
1976
11:49
you will begin to feel the power
230
697240
2920
هه‌ست به‌ هێز ده‌كه‌یت
بۆمن یه‌كێكه‌ له‌ ڕسته‌ گرنگه‌كان
11:52
of what for me is one
of the most moving sentences
231

in all of religious literature.
232

12:05
I will fear no evil,

235

12:10
We can face any future without fear

ده‌توانین ڕوبه‌ڕوی داهاتوو

we will not face it alone.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks - Religious leader
In a world violently polarized by extremists, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks is proposing and advocating solutions to mounting religious intolerance.

Why you should listen

Rabbi Lord Sacks is one of Judaism's spiritual leaders, and he exercises a primary influence on the thought and philosophy of Jews and people of all faiths worldwide. Since stepping down as Chief Rabbi of the UK and Commonwealth in 2013, Rabbi Lord Sacks has become an increasingly well-known speaker, respected moral voice and writer. He has authored more than 30 books, the latest, Not in God's Name: Confronting Religious Violence, was published in 2015.

Granted a seat in the British House of Lords in 2009 and the winner of the 2016 Templeton Prize, Rabbi Lord Sacks is a key Jewish voice for universalism and an embrace of tolerance between religions and cultures. He rejects the "politics of anger" brought about by the way "we have acted as if markets can function without morals, international corporations without social responsibility and economic systems without regard to their effect on the people left stranded by the shifting tide." He also sees, as a key idea for faith in our times, that unity in heaven creates diversity on earth.
