Synopsis

Traditional Jewish libraries often contain a collection of volumes known as the Commentators' Bible. Arranged by weekly Torah portion, these books compile Torah insights created over hundreds of years and in dozens of countries. Such diversity has always been the key to Jewish learning.

The Learn Torah With...5756 Annual represents a kind of "American Style" Commentators' Bible based on a popular weekly electronic Torah study newsletter. The Learn Torah With...5756 Torah Annual blends commentary from over 100 great Torah teachers representing all ideologies and backgrounds with the insights of dozens of the thousands who subscribe to, read and contribute (via e-mail or fax) to this dynamic electronic conversation. The result is a truly interactive Torah dialogue.

Torah Aura Productions publishes books for Jewish schools and families that help celebrate our heritage and our faith.

We have over 25 years of experience as the leading creator of high quality educational materials that enable Jewish children to become empowered Jewish adults.

Our books guide and enhance the Jewish knowledge, spirituality and identity of children and their families, and our innovative tools bring Judaism alive in synagogues, Hebrew schools, and day schools.

Torah Aura Productions was founded in 1981 by a group of innovative Jewish educators who looked out at the field of Jewish education and found materials that were shallow and dull. They started a company to create new tools for families and teachers that would be exciting and meaningful. For more than two decades, Torah Aura has revolutionized the way Jewish schools enable their students to become empowered Jewish adults, and has helped families make Judaism a meaningful presence in their homes.

Some of the areas we publish in:
- Torah and Bible
- Talmud
- Jewish teaching
- Jewish parenting
- Jewish ethics and values
- Jewish holidays
- the Jewish lifecycle
- Israel

About this title

From the Publisher

In the fall of 1994, at the start of the year 5755 on the Jewish calendar, Torah Aura Productions launched its innovative online Torah study publication, Learn Torah With... Now in its fifth year under the aegis of Joel Lurie Grishaver and Rabbi Stuart Kelman, Learn Torah With... continues to provide a community of readers across the globe with a dynamic dialogue on the weekly Torah portion delivered by fax, e-mail or standard mail.

Now Torah Aura Productions is pleased to announce the release of the Learn Torah With...5756 Annual, a compilation of issues from the second year of Learn Torah With.... Edited by Grishaver and Kelman, this volume, like the first of the series (Learn Torah With...5755 Annual, 1997), gathers many of today's top Torah scholars together for a truly pluralistic Torah dialogue. Rachel Adler, Elliot Dorff, Everett Fox, Tamar Frankiel, Richard Elliott Friedman, Rodger Kamenetz, Harold Kushner, Jack Riemer, and Marc Gellman are but a few of the over 100 diverse voices in the Learn Torah With...5756 Torah Annual. Targeted to an audience of synagogue-attending Jews who wish to enhance their understanding of the weekly Torah portion, the Learn Torah With...5756 Annual provides an ideal opportunity to spend an extra 15-20 minutes per week studying Torah with expert teachers.

Continuing in the tradition of the first volume, the Learn Torah With...5756 Torah Annual also features additional commentary not published in the weekly issues submitted by a cyber-community of Learn Torah With... readers. These Divrei Aher (Hebrew for "other things/words") pieces reflect the democratic nature of the Learn Torah With... process, in which editors invite and publish commentary from readers regardless of education, background, or affiliation. There is also a synopsis of each week's parashah, as well as a 200-300 word "Rashi of the Week" column. The resulting collection of Torah learning represents a sort of "commentator's Bible" that spans the spectrum of Jewish thought and speaks to a wide audience of Torah-loving Jews.
