Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi, United Kingdom offers words of praise for Managing Partner Michael Wildes’ book Safe Haven in America: Battles to Open the Golden Door which draws on over a quarter of a century of his practice in the Immigration field. Rabbi Sacks had this to say about Safe Haven:
“Only once does the Hebrew Bible command us to love our neighbour. Yet on thirty-six times, it commands us to love the stranger. A neighbour is one we love because he or she is like us. A stranger is one we are taught to love precisely because he or she is not like us. Throughout this fascinating book, Michael shows his lvoe for the ‘stranger’ and his passion for opening the doors of America to the world.”
Rabbi Lord Sacks held a position of distinction as Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth from 1991 to 2013. He was the sixth incumbent since the role was formalized in 1845. Prior to this, he served as Principal of Jews College as well as Rabbi of the Golders Green and Marble Arch synagogues, both located in the United Kingdom. No stranger to academia, he holds a multitude of honorary degrees, including a Doctor of Divinity, and has been a visiting professor at several universities throughout Britain, the United States and Israel. Moreover, the Rabbi has merited numerous prizes and received substantial recognition above that which is ordinarily encountered. As a prominent author, the Rabbi is a frequent contributor to radio, television, and national press.
In addition Rabbi Lord Sacks is a client and friend of Wildes & Weinberg’s Managing Partner Michael Wildes, who obtained an O-1 “extraordinary ability” visa on his behalf.
