Where do you find the Torah's hidden messages? The Baal HaTurim found them in
gematria (number patterns), acrostics, formations of letters, Scriptural word
patterns, and a novel approach to understanding a verse.Seven hundred years ago,
in an era of greatness, he was a Torah giant. His Arba'ah Turim is the basis of
our Shulchan Aruch. But Baal HaTurim, his brief Torah commentary, was written so
tersely that even great scholars labor over it.
Now, after seven centuries,
this masterpiece is explained, annotated, and broadened. After seven centuries
this treasure is accessible to scholar and layman alike. This new masterpiece has no equal in any
language. It is simply dazzling!
Translation of Baal HaTurim by Rabbi Eliyahu Touger. Edited, annotated, and elucidated by Rabbi Avie
Gold.
