Chief Rabbi: Sacrifice

Don’t Tell Me The Score - A podcast by BBC Radio 4 - Thursdays

"Dreaming alone takes you nowhere. Dreams are good for seeing where you can go and what goals you can reach. You also have to pay the price." That's according to the great Brazilian coach Carlos Alberto Parreira. That's as true in life as in sport, as the Chief Rabbi can explain in this special episode of DTMTS. He is a fan of the show, not least because of the title 'Don't tell me the score', one of the most commonly heard phrases in Jewish communities on the Shabbat- their weekly day of rest. Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis is a huge sports fan, and has a plethora of powerful sporting analogies at his finger tips, as well as examples of why sacrifice is such a vital concept in life and and sport. He argues rather than thinking of it in terms of making sacrifices to get where you want to in life and sport, it's valuable to reframe it as an investment in your future.
