Torah Today: A Renewed Encounter with Scripture de Pinchas H. Peli

Torah Today: A Renewed Encounter with Scripture

Autor Pinchas H. Peli Introducere de Harold M. Schulweis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 2004
The central element of Jewish worship is the yearly cycle of reading the first five books of the Bible, the Five Books of Moses, called the Torah in Hebrew. Torah Today, a compilation of fifty-four essays that grew out of Pinchas Peli's Torah column in the Jerusalem Post, comments upon the weekly readings from the Torah. Written in a wonderfully clear style, each essay brings the reader closer to the rich spiritual world of Torah as it confronts the challenges of modern society. This reissue of Torah Today, with a new preface by Rabbi Harold M. Schulweis, makes this classic work available to a new generation of Bible students.
