Item Description:

Just as the rabbis said that there are seventy facets to all Torah learning, so are there many different approaches and commentaries to the words of Torah. This series represents some of the thoughts of the great biblical commentators of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, set in their times and place, with their unique problems and struggles clearly reflected in their approaches to these Torah topics. Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky, Rabbi Meir Leibush Malbim and Rabbi Yaakov Mecklenburg each wrote monumental commentaries to the Torah. Over the past number of years Rabbi Berel Wein has taught portions of these commentaries on Friday mornings at Beit Knesset HaNassi in Jerusalem. Now available for wider distribution, those listening to these lectures will certainly be uplifted, educated and inspired by the fabulous insights of some of these great scholars of Israel. The lectures in this volume are on Parshat Toldot, Vayeitzei and Vayishalch and are based on the commentary of Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky from his book Emet L’Yaakov.
