This book provides an in-depth journey into the Torah portion
through a series of studies on each parsha. Each study opens with a
brief summary of the narrative and then presents probing questions
designed to strike to the core of the text. These questions are
addressed through a review of traditional commentaries spanning the
ages, combined with original approaches. Deep philosophical issues
and perplexing textual questions are carefully examined and
discussed in clear and incisive fashion. The actions and
motivations of the patriarchs, matriarchs and other biblical
figures are probed with an eye towards determining the lessons to
be learned from the lives of these great personalities. Clear
distinction is made between pshat (straightforward literal meaning)
and Midrash (rabbinical exegesis) as both of these approaches to
biblical text are carefully defined and applied. Finally,
thought-provoking connections are raised between the eternal Torah
narrative and critical issues of our time. Each study is thus
constructed to encourage continued discussion and study of the
Torah narrative. With the publication of this final volume, Devarim
(Deuteronomy), the five-volume series is complete.
