The Heart of Torah, Volume 2
By Shai Held
0 - Default Title
Description
-Rabbi David Wolpe, author of David: The Divided Heart In The Heart of Torah, Rabbi Shai Held’s Torah essays-two for each weekly portion-open new horizons in Jewish biblical commentary.
Held probes the portions in bold, original, and provocative ways. He mines Talmud and midrashim, great writers of world literature, and astute commentators of other religious backgrounds to ponder fundamental questions about God, human nature, and what it means to be a religious person in the modern world. Along the way he illuminates the centrality of empathy in Jewish ethics, the predominance of divine love in Jewish theology, the primacy of gratitude and generosity, and God’s summoning of each of us-with all our limitations-into the dignity of a covenantal relationship.
