What The Torah Teaches Us About Life /Through The Themes Of The Weekly Torah Portions

by Laura Weakley

Overview

Answers to everything can be found in the Torah. Rabbi Akibah divided the five books further into selections to be read each week, which we continue to use today. Now, for the first time, we have a book focusing on the themes of each portion through well thought-out, brilliant commentaries. Weakley not only writes in a way accessible and understandable to all, but she also teaches us just how relevant the Torah is to our lives today. She expertly weaves spirituality, science, tradition, and scholarship in a way which helps with every area of life. This is a book to be enjoyed and treasured for oneself, as well as gifted to others, as Weakley writes to help all people to individually and collectively heal the world. What The Torah Teaches Us About Life will go down in history as a classic to be owned in every person's library, but even better...buy two because one will be well-worn from continuous use!

About the Author

Laura Weakley was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and lived in the area until early in her high school years. The variety of her life experiences all share one common element: they display her lifelong love of learning and her passion in imparting this love to others. Towards accomplishing this goal, she has led several Torah study classes, whether as a substitute for her rabbi (at his request), or classes she has started on her own. Experiences such as these reinforced her natural intuition that she has "the soul of a teacher". At the 2004 Women of Reform Judaism Biennial Conference, she was tapped to lead one of the sessions. She loves talking about the Torah (what some call the "Old Testament"). Further, she enjoys religious and/or spiritual discussions with people of all backgrounds. Having experienced serious personal setbacks, she wrote her first book to help people through their times of crisis or traumatic moments. Regardless of the nature of her efforts, they share one goal: to influence others to grow spiritually through education and information. One cannot miss the light exuding from within her, and she directs that light to help others.
