He was ordained by the University’s affiliated Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS) in 1984, and two years later was awarded Semikha Yadin Yadin, an advanced rabbinic ordination enabling him to serve as a posek - decisor of Jewish law. A leading posek and author of 30 seforim, Rabbi Sacks descends from a long line of illustrious rabbinic personalities. His great-grandfather, the legendary Rabbi Zvi Pesach Frank, served as Chief Rabbi of Yerushalayim for more than 50 years. His grandfather, Rabbi Menachem Sacks, was a leader of Jewish education in Chicago for nearly six decades, and his father, Rabbi Louis L. Sacks, was rabbi of Congregation Anshe Emunah in Delray Beach, FL. Rabbi Sacks currently serves as the Rosh HaYeshiva of Beis Medrash L’Talmud at Lander College for Men. Rabbi Sacks has also been the Rav of Agudas Yisroel Bircas Yaakov in Passaic, NJ for more than 25 years.
