Commentary-Bible
Have you ever seen something in a new light, to the point that you can't remember how you ever understood it before?
Have you ever taken a few moments to 'look a little deeper'?
For twenty-three years, Rabbi Judah Gross has been asking good questions, finding impressive answers, and collecting fascinating ideas.
In this unique and impressive work, for the first time, his insights are available to all.
The purpose of this book is to present you with a cast of characters who are defined by the Torah as your role models. Their voices are in the Text, the Midrash, the Talmud, the works of the earlier and later scholars, and the fruit of the pens of greats of the last centuries.
Will we ever understand their true greatness? The answer is, of course, no. The women depicted will always remain beyond your reach and mine; their spiritual stature places them beyond our limited vision. Nonetheless, the Torah presents them for us to learn from their lives. To do so, you must learn to listen and then to step back with the recognition that you have at best heard the echo of their voices.
A Distant Mirror is structured to give you the information presented in the text under the heading, "What Does It Say?" Next, you will find a taste of what the commentators tell you, under the heading, "What Does It Mean?" And finally, essays on practical ways in which you can bring these women into your lives as your role models under the heading, "What Does This Mean for You?" along with true stories of how other women did just that.
Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller, popular teacher, lecturer, and Hamodia columnist, is the author of Battle Plans (with Sara Yocheved Rigler), Return, You Are Here, Let's Face It!, Our Bodies Our Souls, The Balancing Act, This Way Up, and More Precious Than Pearls.
"A Distant Mirror, by Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller, is a guidebook for life, with many wonderful insights and messages for women as well as for men on how to deal with life's various situations.
The book is full of profound insights into the human personality and conveys a tremendous optimism and belief that people can reach their potential for greatness."
- Rabbi Hershel Reichman, President, Naaleh.com

Abravanel's Wrld of Tor Vykra 1: Meat of the Matter
This volume comprises the first five parshiyot of Sefer Vayikra (Leviticus). It mostly pertains to Temple sacrifices and clarifies a central part of the Torah, one that is widely misunderstood and largely unappreciated. Exploration and discovery-these are Abravanel's hallmarks. With unequaled passion for probing Biblical mysteries, a quest begins. Limitless gems of eternal wisdom enticingly sparkle at every destination. Bereshit, a room of locked secrets, contains many doors. Thankfully,millennia of scholars and commentators have handed down hallowed keys for posterity. Utilizing integrated knowledge of the entire Bible coupled with Sinai's Oral Traditions-together the sum total of man's moral and ethical knowledge-Geonim and Rishonim gradually cracked Torah's vaults ajar. A fifteenth century tour de force,Don Yitzchak Abravanel's magnum opus thoroughly revolutionized Biblical exegesis.His works have never been translated from their original Hebrew. Until now.
Abravanel's Wrld Tor- Vaykra 2: A Certain Calling
Abravanel's World of Torah Vayikra volume 2 An outstanding translation of the fascinating commentary by the last of the Spanish greats. Storyline reads as masterful narrative! --Rabbi Berel Wein, Rav, Beit Knesset HaNassi, Jerusalem A major contribution to Torah literature.. --Rabbi Abraham J. Twersky M.D. Author of more than 60 books In the passages that I have seen, he[Zev Bar Eitan] not only makes Abravanel more accessible, but makes him come alive through a lively, contemporary treatment. --Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein, prolific and featured writer, Co-Founder of Cross-Currents Rabbi Yitzchak Abarbanel (Abravanel) lived at the end of the time of the Spanish Rishonim and his books reflect his end-of-an-era status. He dutifully surveys the opinions of his predecessors before critiquing them and offering his own brilliantly creative interpretations. Like many Spanish Torah scholars, the Abarbanel had a sustained interest in philosophy, language and the literal meaning of the Bible. Therefore, his Torah commentary in particular is an adventure in Medieval thought, with the Abarbanel mediating a battle between the greatest minds and offering his own substantial contributions. However, while his expansive commentaries are fascinating reading, they are often too long and too technical for the average reader. Zev Bar Eitan has devised a creative way to redeem Abarbanel for the masses. With ample literary talent, Bar Eitan retells the story of the Book of Vayikra based on the Abarbanel s commentary. A careful reader will find many hidden interpretations in the simple prose, the fine details of the story as understood by the Abarbanel. Additionally, Bar Eitan offers tastes of the dramatic philosophical debates that the Abarbanel conducts, replacing the lengthy proofs with a summary accessible to contemporary readers. The result is a unique and exciting trip through Bereishit and its Medieval commentators. --Rabbi Gil Student Jewish Action Summer 2020

The author, an observant Jew, has been a practicing attorney with a large international law firm for over 25 years, rendering him uncommonly positioned to speak of the beautiful and wondrous contours of Torah Judaism in a way that can be comfortably and seamlessly reconciled with deep immersion in our secular world. Through these Divrei Torah, the author displays an unbounded love and respect for the absolute truth and infinite elegance of the Torah even as he wrestles and comes to grips with the most challenging issues confronting us in today's world.
When the new rav of Brisk, Rav Yosef Dov Ber Soloveichik, known as the Beis HaLevi after his renowned three-volume work of responsa, focused his matchless genius on derash and aggadah, the result was the classic sefer, Beis HaLevi, on Bereishis and part of Shemos. Combining his analytic eye and his awesome mastery of the entire spectrum of Torah sources, Rav Yosef Dov Ber created an essential text of Torah hashkafah. He applies his penetrating analysis to such major topics as the nature of exile and the Jewish people’s acceptance of the Torah.
The comprehensive commentary of Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch to the Chumash is based on his interpretative method of precise elucidation of the text and meaning of the words.
His grandson, Rav Dr. Joseph Breuer, applied this same method for his commentary to Yehoshua and Shoftim, and has brought to light the timeless words of the Tanach in an original, inspiring fashion. This English version of Rav Breuer's commentary to Yehoshua and Shoftim is written in a modern, clear idiom and will attract scholar and student alike.

On The Weekly Torah Readings With Original Interpretations. Based On Midrashic Analysis And Hirschian Teachings.
Rav Dr. Salomon Breuer (1850–1926) was a talmid of the Ksav Sofer and successor to his father-in-law, Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch, as Rav of the Frankfurt Kehillah, known as Adas Yeshurun. He was founder and Rosh Yeshiva of the Frankfurt Yeshiva.
Rav Breuer preserved in written form his Shabbos and Yom Tov shul sermons, which included moving inspirational messages and timeless lessons for our people. They were built on original interpretations of the Torah, based on various Midrashic sources. Rav Breuer’s sermons are a rich source of wisdom and exhortation — Chochmo u’Mussar.
Originally published as separate volumes in German (1930-1936) and in English (1972-1977), this thoroughly revised 624-page volume presents Rav Breuer’s profound and intricate expositons in a clear, modern idiom and a welcome addition to the study of the weeklyparashah.
