Description
The parasha meets modern Jewish history
David Bashevkin starts from a simple ritual, a book on a quiet Shabbos afternoon, and builds a year of essays around it. Each one pairs the weekly Torah reading with a moment in modern Jewish history: Noach alongside the upheavals of 1840, the census of Bamidbar alongside today's draft debates, Korach alongside the rise of Marxism.
Blending history, philosophy, psychology and traditional sources, the essays take on questions of exile, faith, doubt, authority and memory, and each closes with book recommendations for further reading.
