A Year with the Sages uniquely relates the Sages' understanding of
each Torah portion to everyday life. The importance of these
teachings cannot be overstated. The Sages, who lived during the
period from the fifth century BCE to the fifth century CE,
considered themselves to have inherited the oral teachings God
transmitted to Moses, along with the mandate to interpret them to
each subsequent generation. Just as the Torah and the entire Hebrew
Bible are the foundations of Judaism, the Sages' teachings form the
structures of Jewish belief and practice built on that foundation.
Many of these teachings revolve around core concepts such as God's
justice, God's love, Torah, Israel, humility, honesty,
loving-kindness, reverence, prayer, and repentance. You are invited
to spend a year with the inspiring ideas of the Sages through their
reflections on the fifty-four weekly Torah portions and the eleven
Jewish holidays. Quoting from the week's Torah portion, Rabbi
Reuven Hammer presents a Torah commentary, selections from the
Sages that chronicle their process of interpreting the text, a
commentary that elucidates these concepts and their consequences,
and a personal reflection that illumines the Sages' enduring wisdom
for our era.
