Joyous Torah Treasures is for
anyone looking for clever, attractive, and meaningful ideas related
to the weekly Torah portion. Readers can experience the beauty and
wisdom of the classic and current Torah commentators. The author
explains, based on Biblical and rabbinic sources, that studying
Torah and living one`s life according to the Torah`s precepts bring
happiness, purpose, and satisfaction to daily living. To help his
readers achieve this understanding, Joyous
Torah Treasures presents two essays for each Torah portion.
One essay includes clever and attractive rabbinic interpretations
for the Torah portion. The other essay presents an idea on the weekly
Torah portion that relates the Sages` wise teachings and practical
advice for living a meaningful and happy life. The book is primarily
an anthology, with the essays woven from many classic and modern
Torah commentators.
