Synopsis

With the mounting interest in traditional Jewish texts, classes abound in Chumash, Talmud, Tehillim, and the Megillot. Yet the books of Nevi'im - through which a major part of Judaism's special message is transmitted - have been largely overlooked. Using the weekly haftarah as his entry, renowned author Dr. Meir Tamari tackles this challenge, offering original insights and bringing together commentatorsfrom the span of Jewish history.
