Author Description

<i>Va-yeshev (Genesis 37:1-40:23) and Haftarah (Amos 2:6-3:8): </i><i>The JPS B'nai Mitzvah Torah Commentary</i> shows teens in their own language how Torah addresses the issues in their world. The conversational tone is inviting and dignified, concise and substantial, direct and informative. Each pamphlet includes a general introduction, two model <i>divrei Torah</i> on the weekly Torah portion, and one model <i>davar Torah</i> on the weekly Haftarah portion. Jewish learning--for young people and adults--will never be the same. <br> <br> The complete set of weekly portions is available in Rabbi Jeffrey K. Salkin's book <i>The JPS B'nai Mitzvah Torah Commentary</i> (JPS, 2017).<br> <br>
