Rabbi Ari Kahn has collected 54 of his thought-provoking short essays, one for each of the weekly Torah portions, in a volume that is sure to spark interest and meaningful discussion. Rabbi Kahn's newest volume raises existential and philosophical issues and culls contemporary messages from the sacred, timeless text of the Torah while retaining fidelity to rabbinic tradition. In the words of Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein, Rabbi Kahn's writings are rooted in text and rooted in values. Written in accessible, engaging language, each essay examines a single idea from the weekly Torah reading. Grappling with the challenges presented by the text, the trials and tribulations of Judaism's founding mothers and fathers, and the philosophical underpinnings of observance, Rabbi Kahn illuminates the remarkably contemporary issues of morality and faith, society and sanctity contained in each Torah portion.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49636422811921,"sku":"GOR010640446","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51263075156241,"sku":"NIN9780692445303","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0692445307.jpg?v=1751262486"},{"product_id":"healing-repairing-book-ari-d-kahn-9781947857995","title":"Healing \u0026 Repairing","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA powerful and insightful journey through Sefer Bereishit, \u003ci\u003eHealing and Repairing\u003c\/i\u003e by Rabbi Ari Kahn uncovers the emotional depth and spiritual wisdom of Genesis, revealing how the Torah's earliest stories illuminate the path to personal growth, reconciliation, and redemption.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHealing and Repairing: Essays on Sefer Bereishit \u003c\/i\u003eby Rabbi Ari Kahn offers a deeply moving and intellectually rigorous exploration of the themes of brokenness, restoration, and spiritual growth embedded in the weekly parshiot of Genesis.
