Torah queeries weekly commentaries on the Hebrew Bible

Authors:Gregg Drinkwater, Joshua Lesser, David Shneer, ebrary, Inc

Summary:In the Jewish tradition, reading of the Torah follows a calendar cycle, with a specific portion assigned each week. These weekly portions, read aloud in synagogues around the world, have been subject to interpretation and commentary for centuries. Following on this ancient tradition, this title interprets the Torah through a 'bent lens'.
