Synopsis

We strive for holiness, but the quest is so elusive. And yet, the path toward holiness is embedded within the Torahs words, for all who seek to grapple with them. With striking insight, Rabbi Ari Kahn draws out of the book of Vayikra meaningful instructions for attaining holiness -- in our nation, in our relationships with our loved ones, and within ourselves. Also, entitled In Search of Holiness, this is the third in a five-volume Me'orei Ha'Aish: Fire and Flame series on the weekly Torah portion, published jointly by Gefen Publishing House and the OU.

About this title

About the Author

Rabbi Ari Kahn received his rabbinic ordination from Yeshiva University's Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, where he studied under Rabbi Yosef Dov Soloveitchik. He is the director of Foreign Student Programs and senior lecturer in Judaic studies at Bar-Ilan University in Israel.

He is a renowned speaker, and has lectured worldwide. Having authored over two hundred articles on the weekly parashah and holidays with a readership in excess of ten thousand, Rabbi Kahn is also the author of Explorations, an in-depth analysis of the weekly Torah reading, and Emanations, an in-depth analysis of the Jewish holidays.

Drawing upon the vast reservoir of rabbinic literature – from Talmud to Midrash, from the Zohar to the Hassidic masters – Rabbi Kahn combines the mystical explorations of kabbalah and Hassidut with a highly intellectual and broad-minded approach to Torah study. He applies psychology, literature and Jewish history to the understanding of esoteric midrashim and the Zohar.
