Torah Portions Through the Eyes of Our Scholars
Volume 6

Our Torah is called “a living Torah”. Every law that is given takes into account the makeup of the human personality and condition. In this beautiful piece written by Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky in his famous commentary, Emes L’Yaakov, Rabbi Wein explores the framework of Jewish law and what concepts the Torah puts forth in determining what is permitted and what is not. The eye opening concepts will truly give you a clearer perspective on the words and rulings of our sages – both ancient and modern.
