Written with warmth and wisdom, this volume of inspiring and insightful
comments on the weekly Torah reading is both deeply satisfying and spiritually
uplifting. And it's no wonder renowned author Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D.
poured into this work the riches of his Chassidic heritage combined with
insights derived from his lifetime of experience in psychiatry and
rehabilitation. The result is a Torah commentary like no other. A master at
understanding the human mind and heart, Rabbi Twerski provides observations on
the Torah that are meaningful to us all. As one who has devoted his life to
helping others develop their positive middos (character traits), he is
profoundly aware that the Torah's purpose is the refinement of character through
its mitzvos and the study of its narratives. In his hands, the lessons of each
parashah come through with clarity and contemporary significance. With Rabbi
Twerski as our guide, we can use the lessons of the weekly Torah reading in our
daily lives in our relationships with our families, with our colleagues and
friends, and, most of all, with our Creator. Yet Twerski on Chumash neither
preaches nor admonishes. It is a readable, friendly work ¡ one that makes us
feel that Rabbi Twerski is sitting with us, gently pointing out the remarkable
messages hidden in this Divine document. Through his unfailing ability to
connect classic teachings to today¦s lifestyle, Rabbi Twerski helps us see how
the Torah can enable each of us to reach our goals and attain our spiritual
potential.
This handsome volume is a meaningful gift for Bar Mitzvahs, engagements,
graduations and anniversaries, or ¡ as Dr. Twerski would surely concur a
well-deserved treat for yourself! 8 1/2" x 11" Coffee-table size edition
