The Jewish people are known as “the people of the Book.” Of course, that book is the Torah. There are many other books that come across my desk every year. Some of the most interesting ones are reviewed here.
I received Siddur Nehalel beShabbat in the mail last Wednesday. A quick glance through the siddur told me that this is something special.
I have to admit, I’m not a fan of the Nevarech Bencher. I’ve always found it difficult to use and the pictures distracting.
Rabbi Binyamin Tanny is not a polished author.
He says so himself. And he doesn’t apologize for it.
It’s Book Week here in Israel. Many of the Jewish publishers are participating. Even if you can’t make it to any of the local events, you will also find discounts online.
I suggest that you keep your eyes out for The Kosher Grapevine by Irving Langer, with an excellent introduction by Daniel Rogov, ztl.
With Shavuot just around the corner, it seems like an appropriate time to review The Biblical Outlook – Topics in Jewish Philosophy by Rabbi Shlomo Polachek.
