Review:

"Perhaps, the most important aspect of Sokolow's work is that it makes Nechama's teachings and methodologies accessible to novices and to English speakers who might otherwise be unfamiliar with them. . . . [W]hen viewed as a whole, the book presents in a clear fashion the major aspects of Nechama's methodologies." --Lookstein Digest

"Dr. Moshe Sokolow, has reproduced some of [Nehama Leibowitz's] less-well-known study sheets. He has differed from his teacher in that, unlike her, he has not only raised questions but has also provided his own answers to the questions." --South Florida Jewish Journal

"It is recommended for all Jewish libraries . . . . It joins Nehama's oeuvre, and the growing number of books . . . that reveal Nehama's wisdom and skill as a teacher." --Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter
