To Know Torah - The Book of Deuteronomy: To Understand the Weekly Parasha. Modern Reading in the Peshat of the Torah and its Ideas

Dig deep into the plain meaning of the Bible’s stories and commandments

Would you like to know what the Old Testament (Pentateuch) is all about from a Jewish point of view? This book reveals the morals, ethics, and ideas behind the stories and commandments of one of the oldest books in the history of mankind – a book that serves as the foundation of Jewish and Christian religion. Given the difficult Hebrew in which the Old Testament was written and how challenging it is to translate and to explain, the author wanted to offer to the reader the simple meaning of the text (p’shat) in accessible and friendly language.

The Book of Deuteronomy is opened before you – from a Jewish perspective

The series includes 5 books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Book 5, Deuteronomy contains Moses’ lengthy speech at the end of his life; a summary of his thoughts about the people’s history; and his warning to the people to remain loyal to the Lord and His ethical commandments, in order to assure their strength and the unity of their society.

As a modern religious Jew, I was always been attracted to the stories and commandments written in the book which I saw as the foundation of my people, history, and religion. This book has been interpreted by many commentators during our history, but I was not completely happy with any of them. I thought I could give my readers a better, more modern way to look at the simple meaning of the text, a look that will satisfy all monotheistic, moral, and pluralistic people around the world.
