Reviews
"He [Sacks] argues like an expert dancer, leading his audience through a waltz of lilting reasonableness"--Rafael Behr, Observer, "In this important book, Jonathan Sacks, the Chief Rabbi -- widely recognised in this country as a public intellectual -- addresses a crucial theme: how can we honour the diversity now present in Britain without losing that which holds us together?" Reviewed by Grace Davie in Church Times, May 2008, "British Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks is the premierpublic intellectual of Judaism in the English-speaking world and has no obviouscounterpart in the communities of Judaismconducted in other languages. No one in Israeli intellectual life competes. This book joins with its predecessors...to form an oeuvre ofmoral authority and compelling logic. For a corpus of writing substantiallyless ambitious than this some have received the Nobel Prize." --Jerusalem Post, "This is JonathanSacks' new book on the future of British society and the dangers facing liberaldemocracy. A counterweight to his earlier book, "The Dignity ofDifference", Sacks makes the case for "integrated diversity"within a framework of shared political values. Arguing that globalcommunications have fragmented national cultures and that multiculturalism,intended to reduce social friction, is today reinforcing it, Sacks calls for anew approach to national identity. He envisions a responsibility-based ratherthan rights-based model of citizenship that connects the ideas of giving andbelonging. We should see society as "the home we build together",bringing the distinctive gifts of different groups to the common good. Sackswarns of the hazards free and open societies face in the 21st century, andoffers an unusual religious defense of liberal democracy and the nation state. This logical sequel to Sacks'award-winning "The Dignity of Difference" (Continuum), "The HomeWe Build Together" makes a compelling case for "integrateddiversity" within a framework of shared political values. Some of thechapters deal with A Brief History of Multiculturalism, Technology and TheFragmentation of Culture, Loss of Moral Consensus, Losing Confidence, TheBreakdown of The Family, Faith in Freedom, The Concept of a Social Covenant, AReligious Defense of Liberal Democracy, Active Citizenship, The Jewish Experience,Tolerance, In Defense of The Nation State, Social Capital, Bilingualism andothers. An excellent and intelligentstudy of modern society . -Jewish Media Review, Sacks, an award-winning author and the chief rabbiof the United Hebrew Congregations of Britain and the Commonwealth,painstakingly presents a history of the breakdown of civil society aswell as a compelling philosophy with which to restore civility toBritish government and daily life. Global communications technologydeteriorates our sense of national identity, he states here, whilemulticulturalism exacerbates the situation by encouraging socialfragmentation, especially along religious lines. We have created a&"society as hotel,&" in which individualism and compartmentalization arethe rule of the day. By participating in a social covenant devoted tothe common good, we can create society as the &"home we build together,&"a society in which we are integrated but not assimilated and in whichwe all invest of ourselves to support the whole. Sacks's arguments arecompelling, as is his analysis of the advent and results of themulticulturist movement. While applicable to most Western democracies,this work is firmly rooted in British sociopolitical concerns and iswritten in an approachable but scholarly style. Recommended foracademic or larger public libraries. --Library Journal, "British Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks is the premierpublic intellectual of Judaism in the English-speaking world and has no obviouscounterpart in the communities of Judaismconducted in other languages.

The Home We Build Together is thus anessential read for all of us, and I commend Rabbi Sacks for writing it." --SephardicHeritage Update, "Jonathan Sacks adds his influential voice to those who want to see an end to multiculturalism" David Miller, Times Literary Supplement, 11 February 2008
