About this title

Synopsis

In this second volume of his long-anticipated five-volume collection of "parashat hashavua" commentaries, Sacks explores these intersections as they relate to universal concerns of freedom, love, responsibility, identity, and destiny.

Review

A compilation of masterful derashot...at times analytic and at others inspirational, it weaves together insights from medieval and modern Bible scholars, philosophers, historians, and Rabbi Sacks himself, as it applies the parashiyot to daily life. --Kol Hamevaser, Yeshiva University

Rabbi Sacks is both a great scholar and a great communicator, and he has done a superb job in crafting commentary that is at the same time erudite and accessible to the average reader. --The Jewish Standard
