Lox with Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks

A quick story from Rabbi Sack's lecture this morning: He and the Archbishop of Cantenbury are Arsenal soccer fans. They went to a game and gave blessings to the team. The team lost to Manchester United 6-2, thier worst defeat in 67 years. The London newpapers the next day declared "If this is what these religious leaders bring us then it is proof that God does not exist." Sacks went on BBC that afternoon and said "Do not fear, my friends, God does exist. But apparently he is a fan of Manchester United."
