Inside the Torah: Narrative, Interpretation, and Mystical Meanings - Paperback

by Rabbi Charna S. Klein (Author)

God gave the Torah to Moses and our ancestors at Mount Sinai thousands of years ago, and we've been studying it ever since. Rabbi Charna S. Klein continues the tradition in this scholarly work, interpreting the Torah's fifty-four chapters in Inside the Torah.
Klein presents interpretations from ancient Sages to modern commentators and adds original rabbinic interpretations on important topics such as creation, evolution, societal development, gender, sexual diversity, and more. The author also applies scientific lenses, including cultural, archeological, physical and medical anthropology to explicate hidden meanings in the Biblical text.
Meant for Jews and non-Jews, the book is a significant contribution on the interpretation of the Torah from the perspectives of Chassidus and the Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah, its concepts, structures, and meaning.
Rabbi Klein encourages the Jewish people as inheritors of the Mosaic tradition to connect with God and repair ourselves and the world. Awaken, know, delve deep and reach high to make yourself a vessel for good.
