The Everyday Torah: Weekly Reflections and Inspirations

I love this book, but I should have bought a new one. This book smells of patchouli and I hate that smell. I tried putting it in a bag with baking soda for more than a week and it still smells. I know it's risky to buy used books, but I looked only for the rating, and in it there was no mention of smell.

While I have not yet finished reading this book, I have enjoyed every moment thus far! While born Jewish, I wasn't raised in the community and without a lot of the background knowledge. I recently started dating a very religious Jewish man who has done a great job of helping catch me up, but this book has helped in so many ways. The format is easy to digest and discuss. I highly recommend it to anyone.

As a life-long Christian I found this book very insightful. I find that a Jewish perspective on the Old Testament quite enlightening. I would recommend it for all Christians seeking a more complete understanding of the Bible.

I liked the ideas about the weekly Parsha

Any book on Torah is good, but this one is very Good!

Fantastic read! Great job by Rabbi Artson to help explain the Torah in terms anyone can understand. A truly inspirational read for Jews and non-Jews alike!

I use Rabbi Artson's Everyday Torah as a reference nearly every week to better understand the Torah portion.

What a wonderful book to have! For anyone that has missed Temple or Synagogue more than a couple of times due to illness or lifestyle don't neglect to buy this book. It's a comfort to have.

I decided to read and pray through the five books this year as a discipline and bought this as a commentary to read after I had digested the passages by myself. It is designed to support a faster rate of progress through the texts, i.e. cover the Torah in one year. Each section has three short essays (about 1 and 1/2 pages each) written by different people. Each one contains one good idea to reflect on - so as a thought for the day or week it works well. I keep it by my bed and dip in before going to sleep.
