Why learn Torah? Why read about Patriarchs and Matriarchs, biblical failures and triumphs, God's anger and delight? What could possibly draw a modern person into its ancient words?
Dr. Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg — a renowned biblical scholar who weaves Midrash, biblical commentaries, Hasidic thinkers, and psychoanalysts, literary giants, and more — explores such questions with us. When a soul encounters God's word in the text, something is experienced. The narratives, stories, and lessons in the Torah are meant to touch us—to shatter, comfort, awaken us to the full depths of life.
If you are seeking a new mode of connecting to religious texts, religious living, and God, then you will find endless spiritual enrichment from Dr. Zornberg's resonant words.
