I don’t remember how long ago it was that one of my best friends labeled me a Rabbi Jonathan Sacks “fangirl!”

I liked the label

I never minded the label. Because it’s true. I thought he was one of the most brilliant men on this earth. I was always amazed at how many books he had obviously read. And I always wondered: how the heck did he remember them all?
