The Modern Men's Torah Commentary

By Jeffrey K. Salkin - Jewish Lights

Some people might be amused by the very notion of a "men's Torah commentary." After all, what else would you call Rashi, Ramban, Ibn Ezra, and the midrashim? While those commentaries were all written by men, they didn't deal with the issues with which many modern men struggle issues like relationships, sexuality, ambition, work and career, body image, aging, and life passages. This major contribution to modern biblical commentary addresses the most important concerns of modern men by opening them up to the life of Torah. It includes commentaries by the most creative and influential rabbis, leaders and teachers in contemporary Jewish life, and represents all denominations in Judaism. Featuring poignant and probing reflections on the weekly Torah portions, this collection teaches readers how the life of Torah intersects with their own lives by focusing on men's issues that can be found within the text. Ideal for rabbis, educators, fathers, sons, and anyone wanting a new, exciting view of Torah. This rich resource offers new perspectives to inspire all of us to gain deeper meaning from the Torah and a heightened appreciation of Judaism. {The Modern Men’s Torah Commentary can be purchased directly from Jewish Lights at: http://www.jewishlights.com/page/product/978-1-58023-395-8}
