Rabbi Sacks receives The Bradley Prize

On 15 June 2016 at a ceremony in Washington DC, Rabbi Sacks was awarded one of The Bradley Prizes by The Bradley Foundation. The Bradley Prizes are awarded each year to four individuals in recognition of their work. Together with Rabbi Sacks the other 2016 recipients were: social scientist and author Charles Murray; historian and author Andrew Roberts; and humanitarian and actor Gary Sinise. The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation is devoted to strengthening American democratic capitalism and the institutions, principles, and values that sustain and nurture it. This audio includes an introduction by George Will, one of America's leading political commentators, followed by a video including comments from Tony Blair, former US Senator Joe Lieberman, and Professor Akbar Ahmed of American University. The prize itself was presented by Michael W. Grebe, President & CEO of The Bradley Foundation, after which Rabbi Sacks delivered his acceptance speech.
