Jewish Values in our Open Society

"Jewish Values in Our Open Society: A Weekly Torah Commentary takes a look at each of the Torah portions using traditional sources and classical commentaries, as well as the author's own involvement in our ever-changing world. In this way, the author provides new perspectives on spiritual, religious, and moral issues.". "In Jewish Values in Our Open Society, each of the first five books of the Torah is introduced by a traditional source that outlines the primary concepts of that particular book. Author Meir Tamari then explores the relevance of these verses to a modern, open society by examining the events and ideas contained in them."--BOOK JACKET.
