"Entering Torah is a warm, welcoming embrace, a door opening to a world of wisdom, compassion and spirit, and the guiding hand of a master teacher and rabbinic sage. I can't think of a better companion to explore the ways that God, Jews and the world have loved each other across the ages!"
- Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson,
Dean, Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies
Vice President, American Jewish University
"A wonderfully enlightening and inspiring set of introductions to the Torah readings! Rabbi Hammer calls on a rich feast of philosophy, archaeology, science, law and literature to make the Torah readings relevant to the modern, college-educated Jew of the 21st century. Rather than dodging the hard questions that the Torah raises, he helps us confront them and formulate an intelligent, honest and meaningful appreciation of what the Torah can and does teach us."
- Rabbi Elliot Dorff, PhD,
Rector and Distinguished Professor of Philosophy
American Jewish University
"Reuven Hammer is a consummate commentator of sacred Jewish texts, biblical and liturgical. In a felicitously entitled new work, Entering Torah , he guides us through a world that is simultaneously ancient and modern. He has a keen sense of narrative development and in his section on the Book of Genesis, his sketches of the Patriarchs are both compelling and challenging...Artfully written."
- Professor Bezalel Porten,
Hebrew University, Jerusalem
A veritable thesaurus of ideas and insights based on the weekly Torah portions, all of which are relevant to us today. This is must reading for all who wish to taste and learn from the wellsprings of our Book of Books and to become immersed in the wisdom of ages.
-Professor Shalom Paul
Professor Emiritus and Former Chair of the Bible Department
Hebrew University, Jerusalem
A valuable resource for individual reading as well as study groups... I recommend it with enthusiasm.
-Professor Jeffrey H. Tigay
