Lessons for Living: Reflections on the Weekly Bible Readings and on the Festivals

For generations, the weekly Torah readings have been the focus of interpretation and inspiration by gifted teachers and preachers. At times elucidating ancient texts, at other times linking Biblical thoughts to personal or contemporary themes, interpreters in every age have drawn wisdom from the past while breathing new life into familiar tales and teachings. In Lessons for Living, one of our generation's best-loved rabbis shares with us dozens of inspirational gems—brief observations, commentaries, and challenges—drawn from his personal reflections on the weekly Bible readings and holiday themes. Rabbi Greenberg here demonstrates his remarkable ability to combine the timely with the timeless, and to make ancient texts relevant to our own lives.
