Synopsis

Can 'secular' knowledge enhance Torah study? Can we learn wisdom from other nations? Did ancient cultures influence Judaism?

Rabbi Elia Benamozegh’s 19th-century Torah commentary (Em LaMiqra) stands at the centre of these controversial questions—incorporating science, philology, archaeology, and history.

Praised by some and banned by others, it was accused of blending the holy with the 'profane.'

In this first-ever English translation of his response to his detractors, you can read Rabbi Benamozegh’s passionate defence—not just of his book, but of a deep-rooted Jewish tradition that embraces truth from all sources to illuminate and enhance the study of Torah.
