For the believing Jew today, no less than for those in the past,
the study of the weekly Torah portion is a religious experience.
For this reason it is customary to consider the section along with
its traditional commentaries. It is important to know not only what
the Torah meant when it was written, but also what it has meant
within Judaism since then. It is also important for intellectual
honesty to distinguish between the two. Moderns also have the
advantage of using the results of linguistic studies and
comparative studies of other ancient texts as well as
archaeological finds to help us better understand the text. The
Torah reflects an entire world-view concerning the nature of God
and of human beings, the task of Israel and the way in which we are
to live. Thus it is an ancient text that is ever new and always
renewing itself. One studies it not only to learn what was, but
also to discover what we are and how we are to live. These prefaces
are meant to complement and enrich your study of the portion by
pointing out important ideas found therein and raising problems and
questions for consideration. Enter into the Torah text with this
insightful companion and experience the full impact of the age-old
and totally new weekly portion.
