Author Description

Torah MiEtzion presents original, insightful essays on the Bible by the rabbis of Yeshivat Har Etzion, one of today¿s most vibrant and influential schools of modern biblical interpretation. Since its founding in Israel in 1968, Yeshivat Har Etzion has emphasized Bible study alongside Talmud study in order to foster what its founder, Rabbi Yehuda Amital z¿l, called an ¿organic understanding¿ of Torah and Torah philosophy. The result has been the development of a unique, analytically rigorous, creative, interpretive method that is infused with a profound quest for meaning. This volume of Torah MiEtzion, which examines the Torah portions of the Book of Vayikra, includes essays by Rabbis Amnon Bazak, Ezra Bick, Yoel Bin-Nun, Yonatan Grossman, Menachem Leibtag, Mosheh Lichtenstein, Elchanan Samet, Chanoch Waxman, and other leading scholars.
