Description:
The study of Tanakh has always been a staple of Jewish life. The new windows which have opened up in the last century into the rooms of academia -anthropology, archeology, philology and literary analysis, to name a few , have given new perspectives to traditional study and have allowed Orthodox students of our Book of Books to understand, with greater depth and insight, the stories, laws, prophecies and poems that have been our breath for these millennia. In this rich volume, Rabbi Etshalom demonstrates the methodology through which traditional study meets academic rigor, and new insights into the meaning of the text and its import come to light. (“The old will become renewed and the new will become sanctified." -Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook) About the Author Rabbi Yitzchak Etshalom was educated at Yeshivot Kerem B'Yavneh, RIETS/Yeshiva University and Har Etzion, after which he received rabbinic ordination from the Chief Rabbinate of Jerusalem. While completing his M.Ed. at Loyola Marymount University, Etshalom began his career as an educator and a leading teacher of Tanakh in North America.
