(JTA) — The newly retired British chief rabbi Jonathan Sacks will serve as a professor at New York University and Yeshiva University.
Sacks will spend three months a year teaching in New York, the London-based Jewish Chronicle reported.
He will serve as the Kressel and Efrat Family University Professor of Jewish Thought at Yeshiva University. At NYU, Sacks will serve as the Ingeborg and Ira Rennert Global Distinguished Professor of Judaic Thought.
