Recenzii
"Turn the Torah over and over again, the ancient rabbis said, for everything is in it. Avraham Burg shows the way in his unique and valuable Torah commentary, displaying a profound mastery of classical Jewish learning and secular knowledge, informed by the events of our world and sensitive to the psychological intricacies of our lives. All these qualities combine in a truly insightful, original volume. It will reward the reader greatly!" -- Rabbi David Ellenson, President of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion
"Avraham Burg is a rare and crucial figure. Not only does he use Torah to challenge contemporary values; he uses contemporary values to challenge Torah, calling on us to make Judaism relevant to the democratic experiment. It is a call of desperate importance. I hope that we on this side of the ocean summon the strength to respond." -- Peter Beinart, Associate Professor of Journalism and Political Science, City University of New York; author of "The Icarus Syndrome: A History of American Hubris"
"Avraham Burg turns his brilliant mind and incisive pen to the Torah itself, giving us a bold commentary that is erudite, compassionate and revolutionary. This is Torah for the twenty-first century, addressing questions that meeker commentators fear to touch. Read this commentary, struggle, and grow with Avraham Burg, week by sacred week." -- Rabbi Amy Eilberg, leader of interfaith dialogue programs, St Paul Interfaith Network, St Paul, Minnesota; first woman ordained as a Conservative rabbi
