For numerous centuries, the Talmud—an extraordinary work of Jewish ethics, law, and tradition—has compelled readers to grapple with how to live a good life. Full of folk legends, bawdy tales, and rabbinical repartee, it is inspiring, demanding, confounding, and thousands of pages long. As Liel Leibovitz enthusiastically explores the Talmud, what has sometimes been misunderstood as a dusty and arcane volume becomes humanity's first self-help book. How the Talmud Can Change Your Life contains sage advice on an unparalleled scope of topics.

In our modern age the biblical Genesis flood account has been probed and analyzed for answers to scientific, apologetic, and historical questions. It is a text that has called forth flood geology, fueled searches for remnants of the ark on Mount Ararat, and inspired a full-size replica of Noah's ark in a biblical theme park. Some claim that the very veracity of Scripture hinges on a particular reading of the flood narrative. But do we understand what we are reading? Longman and Walton urge us to ask, what might the biblical author have been saying to his ancient audience?

Until the publication of the Zohar, The Bahir was the most widely quoted primary source of Kabbalistic teachings. The Bahir is quoted in every major book on Kabbalah, the earliest being the Raavad's commentary on Sefer Yetzirah, and it is cited numerous times by Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman (Ramban) in his commentary on the Torah. It is also quoted many times in the Zohar. It was first published around 1176 by the Provence school of Kabbalists; the first printed edition appeared in Amsterdam in 1651.

La Kabbalah - che in ebraico vuol dire "ricezione" - è il complesso delle dottrine esoteriche e mistiche dell'ebraismo. Essa mira a creare un contatto più diretto e più intimo col divino, reso possibile attraverso un disvelamento che segue molteplici vie: dall'analisi delle Sacre Scritture, la Torah, per scoprire il significato recondito e profondo delle narrazioni in essa contenute, fino alle pratiche di elevazione estatica volte ad avvicinare la presenza divina.

For generations, the Old Testament has shaped Western culture—etched into our laws, language, and morality. But what if we've misunderstood it all along? Beneath the familiar tales of creation and commandments lies a far more unsettling truth: these texts weren't written to enlighten, but to persuade. Crafted by priests and kings, they served as political tools to assert power, justify violence, and shape collective memory.

In Letters of Light, Rabbi Aaron L. Raskin explores the essence of these holy letters, illustrating how they continue to be a source of creation, reflection, prayer, and inspiration in our everyday lives.

Rabbi Raskin's insights are guided by the rich foundations of Chasidic philosophy, particularly by the illuminations of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe.
