The Torah offers us various paradigms of the earliest leaders of the Jewish people so that we can reflect upon their lives and leadership and thereby they and we can provide incentive and directIon to transform Jewish life.
HaRav A.Y. Kook, the first Chief Rabbi of Israel, explains that in Torah scrolls the white separations between the letters, words, and verses signify that there are meanings that transcend the confines of the text. This supports our efforts to deeply reflect on the multiple meanings of the Torah’s words and the wisdom of our patriarchs and prophets.
In a fascinating journey through the weekly parshiot, Rabbi Doctor Jerry Hochbaum, in addition to elucidating the Torah text with keen understanding, also offers critical appreciation of the variety of those paradigms. They may help in comprehending and responding the challenges confronting contemporary Jewish leaders.
