The weekly Torah portion has been a pillar of Jewish life and learning for millennia. The Light of the Torah combines the author's original insights with in-depth analysis of a wide variety of sources to resolve compelling questions arising from the text of the Torah. The Light of the Torah seeks to convey to the reader a deeper understanding of the Torah and a stronger connection with God. I have very much enjoyed reading Dr. Shmuel Bavli's essays on the parshiyot ha-shavua. Written very clearly and drawing upon a wide range of sources-from Talmudic through modern times-Dr. Bavli has brought new insights to paths well-trodden, providing creative interpretations for many biblical narratives and laws. I have learned a lot from his thoughtful and most interesting perspectives. All will benefit from these reflections, beginners and scholars alike.
-Rabbi Dr. Jacob J. Schacter
University Professor of Jewish History and Jewish Thought,
Yeshiva University, New York, NY Dr. Samuel Bavli is a lover of Torah. Throughout a life of devotion to medicine as an esteemed endocrinologist, he nurtured his passion for scripture by regular study and by writing well-researched essays on the weekly portion. He has now made these available to the public, to the delight, enrichment and inspiration of us all.
-Rabbi Haskel Lookstein
