Description
Book SynopsisThis important volume describes and analyzes each of the seventy-nine haphtaroth of the year, covering the Sabbath and the Festivals and Fast days for both Ashkenazim and Sephardim.
Trade ReviewBy providing us with his always insightful and often original reflections on the hapharoth, Stephen Rosenberg has enriched the scope of Jewish thought, reminding us that the prophets, speaking to their time, speak to ours no less. Their dilemmas are ours. Their ideals have lost none of their passion and power in the intervening centuries. It takes a fine teacher to let us see the old in the new and the new in the old, and that is what he has done. This is a stimulating work, one from which every reader will learn. -- Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks
