What guided Avraham, in war and peace? What did Yitzchak really think about his two sons? How did the debacle of the Spies unfold? In New Interpretations on the Parsha on the weekly Torah readings and on the chagim, an outstanding halachist answers these and many other questions. Combining erudition with sociological and psychological insight, and written in clear and straightforward style, this is a book of rare originality, intelligence, and religious force.
