The Essential Torah
A comprehensive review of the Five Books of Moses with selected notes from the Classical Commentaries. Here at last is a much needed volume that will serve as an indispensable aid for those who wish to acquaint themselves with the grandeur of the Bible and the teachings of the Prophets. The author has presented in clear and concise language: a faithful review of each weekly Torah reading, a synopsis of each prophetic section and a liberal selection from the classical commentaries. Each chapter is complete and exhaustive review of the weekly Torah section. Great personalities emerge as human beings. Their messages are no longer camouflaged by the "thee"s and thou"s" of complicated and antiquated English translations. A short chapter/synopsis for each Torah portion allows the reader to familiarize or re-acquaint themselves with that weeks parsha.
