About Something Old, Something New: Pearls From The Torah
Product Description With a clear-eyed awareness and appreciation for the benefits and challenges of our modern world and culture, Rabbi Eliyahu Safran has written a commentary of the weekly Torah portions that makes clear his abiding love for Jewish teaching and knowledge. In these pages, Rabbi Safran brings to bear the power and grace of Jewish wisdom on the issues and concerns of our time, devoting important and compelling insights to the ways the modern world impacts our young people and how our tradition gives us the tools to nurture, guide and mentor them with intelligence and sanctity. Rabbi Safran's short, easy to grasp thoughts demonstrate anew that eternal truths speak powerfully and sensitively to each and every generation. Review ''The essays collected in this volume are the result of decades of profound thought and original creativity of Eliyahu Safran, a talented writer, gifted teacher, and inspired educator. Having had the opportunity to engage personally with Rabbi Safran throughout the decades, I am certain that all who read these chapters will gain insight and inspiration from the creative and articulate way he presents Torah texts, ideas and lessons.'' --Dr. Norman Lamm, Past President - Yeshiva University ''For me, writing words of acclaim for Rabbi Dr. Eliyahu Safran's excellent new book is an opportunity for celebration. I celebrate the book, and I celebrate a friendship which spans more than a half-century. The book, a collection of the distinguished author's essays on the weekly Torah portion, reflects the author's erudition and literary skills. Moreover, it contains his penetrating insights into a wide range of contemporary issues, insights which reflect his creativity and perspicacity, as well as his courage. These insights are the product of Rabbi Safran's decades of experience in an astounding variety of community leadership roles. I have also discerned the influence of his prestigious ancestors in his writing, particularly in his passionate concern for the entirety of the Jewish people. This book will enable the reader to taste a special delicacy: ''Old wine in a new container''. Most of all, it will enhance and enrich the conversations of many a Shabbat table. With admiration and abiding friendship.'' --Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, Executive Vice President, Emeritus Orthodox Union ''Rabbi Eliyahu Safran's volume on Parashat HaShavua is a delight to both the mind and the heart. With keen insight, Rabbi Safran poses questions that plumb the deeper meaning of the text and leavens his analysis with psychology and a profound understanding of human nature. Replete with sensitivity, warmth and wisdom, Rabbi Safran's commentary is a gentle reminder that the path to understanding the Torah is paved with feeling as well as intellect.'' --Rabbi Menachem Genack, Chief Executive Officer - OU Kosher About the Author Rabbi.
