Sefer Bereishit: The Classical Commentators
Reading the text of the weekly parsha in Sefer Bereishit only scratches the surface of the deep meaning of the Torah. Parshat Bereishit itself could be studied the entire year and there would still be many mysteries to uncover. As we start a new cycle of the yearly Torah reading, join Rabbi James Kennard as he explores explanations of enigmatic words and phrases of the weekly parsha through the eyes of the classical commentators.
