Talks on the Parasha recreates the warm, intimate atmosphere of a personal encounter with Rabbi Steinsaltz. While providing insights that are meaningful for the Jewish collective, it speaks to every individual as well. To Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz, the Torah contains within it many worlds. The themes, the language, the myriad ways in which to understand and interpret it – all of these are worlds that both exist independently and are connected to one another, inextricably linked from within and from without. What emerges from the totality of the Torah’s manifold shades of meaning is that the Torah is essentially “the book of the chronicles of man.” The Torah – addressing, in particular, the Jewish people and the individual – helps the reader understand not only what happened in the past and what ought to happen in the future, but also the meaning of his or her own life.

This volume has many interesting and thought-provoking ideas By Israel Drazin Maggid Books has launched a project beginning in 2011 to publish books by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, born in Jerusalem in 1937, including several previously unpublished volumes. Steinsaltz is a well-known writer. In 2010, he completed his monumental translation of the Talmud into Modern Hebrew, a project he began in 1965 (the Talmud is composed for the most part in Aramaic and ancient Hebrew), and added many notes explaining the text, the ideas behind the discussions, the history of the times and personalities, as well as much more relevant information. His work is one of the best commentaries on the Talmud, far better, clearer, with more relevant information, and more scientific than the ArtScroll versions. Rabbi Steinsaltz is a mystic and some of his writings reflect this inclination, but his Talmud commentary is for the most part very rational.This volume contains “talks” on the 54 weekly biblical Torah readings. The average “talk” is seven pages, short and to-the-point. They are called “talks” because they are based on oral discussions that Rabbi Steinsaltz gave in various settings. In his talk on Genesis, Rabbi Steinsaltz, for example, speaks about an idea in a mystical book that people can have one of two different kinds of souls. While this is mystical, it can be understood rationally: people have different dispositions, and even an anger-filled disposition, such as Cain’s – who killed his brother Abel, the rabbi explains, can be directed in a positive manner.The rabbi’s discussions are thought-provoking. For example, in his discussion on Noah, he states: “Noah is certainly righteous and pious, but he lacks the ability to speak to his contemporaries, who consider him crazy.” He notes that Noah also failed in letting “into the ark at least one son whose worthiness is highly questionable. This phenomenon is not so rare.” In this chapter he speaks about three levels of righteous people – the lowest being the righteous person, like Noah, who is totally sell-centered, for he does not feel that he needs to look after the world.Rabbi Steinsaltz also raises interesting question. For instance, he asks why was it necessary for Moses’ father-in-law Jethro to suggest to Moses to establish a court system instead of sitting all day and addressing all problems himself? Why couldn’t Moses figure this out himself, or why didn’t God tell him to do it.In short, readers will find much interesting material in this volume.

A wonderful way to mark each weeks Torah reading By Jerome E Groopman Fluidly written, with numerous surprising and deep insights, each chapter is deceptively short while extraordinarily long on wisdom.
