The Everyday Torah

Overview

Main description

An inspiring new collection from the author Rabbi Harold Kushner calls “one of the most insightful and articulate rabbis of his generation.”

Following the success of his previous book, The Bedside Torah, Rabbi Artson once again casts a contemporary light on the ancient text of the Torah. This time, he enlightens you with a deeper understanding of the book’s 50 weekly readings, offering fresh new insights and thoughtful commentaries. His gentle everyday reflections make the Torah come alive--and go straight to the heart of Jewish spirituality.
