תיאור

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
