Rabbi Jack Tauber
A collection of the teachings and insights on the Book of Genesis.
It presents the author's analysis of the weekly Torah reading, focusing
on the individual's relationship to God and other people in modern
times. Throughout his works, Rabbi Tauber grapples with how the
Jew of today should relate to the Holocaust, Zionism and the establishment
of the State of Israel, and the rise of Islamic fundamentalism.
