Prolific authors and academic scholars, Stanley M. Wagner and
Israel Drazin bring us a fascinating selection of discussions on the
weekly Torah portion, all designed to stimulate discussion and stretch
the imagination.
Covering a wealth of themes, this book explores relevant and
contemporary issues while cross-referencing the entire Torah. The
authors discuss legal, moral, and ethical issues as broad and disparate
as marriage, sibling rivalry, animal rights, the afterlife, and the
meaning of life. Does modern history simply echo the struggles of our
ancestors? Does prophecy belong to everyone or only a select few? What
are angels made of?
Referencing a broad spectrum of traditional Torah and psychological
literature, this book poses far more questions than it attempts to
answer.
