Recenzii

" A Rational Approach to Judaism and Torah Commentary by Rabbi Israel Drazin (Urim) examines the weekly Torah portions, drawing on philosophy and biblical scholarship, emphasizing reason and knowledge. Promoting teaching and discussion, he includes questions, prevailing views and some counterpoints, and summaries." --Sandee Brawarsky, The Jewish Week
" A Rational Approach to Judaism and Torah Commentary is a serious book written by an Orthodox scholar. It will interest skeptics and believers, academics and laypersons, alike. It belongs in all adult Jewish libraries, as well as in Judaica sections of public libraries" --Nira G. Wolfe, AJL Newsletter
"Despite its broad scholarship, this book is designed for the lay person. Each chapter is brief and easy to digest, there are no footnotes to interfere with a Friday night reading. The writing is simple, the tone informative, not preachy. [...] In a world which increasingly downplays or even deligitimizes rational thinking, Drazin has written the intelligent rationalist's primer." --Zvi Grumet, Lookstein Digest
"While this book examines thinking from a Jewish perspective, non-Jews, scholars and non-scholars will find this well-written volume to be very interesting, eye-opening and informative." --Michele M. Lenoff, The Jewish Eye
"[Drazin's] language is simple and elegant, while his arguments for embracing a rationalistic commitment to living the religious life are cogent and convincing. This unique and remarkable volume should be required reading for those who yearn for knowledge, discernment, and insight." --Rabbi Dr. Stanley M. Wagner, professor emeritus, University of Denver
"[T]his book is not merely a theoretical study of the [Torah] but a living encounter with it." --Dr. Raphael Jospe, author, Jewish Philosophy in the Middle Ages
