Twerski on Chumash
Description
Written with warmth and wisdom, this volume of inspiring and insightful comments on the weekly Torah reading is both deeply satisfying and spiritually uplifting. And it's no wonder renowned author Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D. poured into this work the riches of his Chassidic heritage combined with insights derived from his lifetime of experience in psychiatry and rehabilitation. The result is a Torah commentary like no other. A master at understanding the human mind and heart, Rabbi Twerski provides observations on the Torah that are meaningful to us all. As one who has devoted his life to helping others develop their positive middos (character traits), he is profoundly aware that the Torah's purpose is the refinement of character through its mitzvos and the study of its narratives. In his hands, the lessons of each parashah come through with clarity and contemporary significance. With Rabbi Twerski as our guide, we can use the lessons of the weekly Torah reading in our daily lives in our relationships with our families, with our colleagues and friends, and, most of all, with our Creator. Yet Twerski on Chumash neither preaches nor admonishes. It is a readable, friendly work one that makes us feel that Rabbi Twerski is sitting with us, gently pointing out the remarkable messages hidden in this Divine document. Through his unfailing ability to connect classic teachings to today¹s lifestyle, Rabbi Twerski helps us see how the Torah can enable each of us to reach our goals and attain our spiritual potential.
This handsome volume is a meaningful gift for Bar Mitzvahs, engagements, graduations and anniversaries, or as Dr. Twerski would surely concur a well-deserved treat for yourself! 8 1/2" x 11" Coffee-table size edition

When we study Chumash — whether as students or as adults — it is frequently challenging to follow the order of events, where they took place, or exactly what the Torah is describing. This book uses a variety of visual aids to bring us clarity:
Timelines give a sense of when people lived and various events described by the Torah or Rashi.
Maps offer an understanding of where events in the Torah occurred.
Charts present concepts in ways that make them clearly understood and better remembered.
Illustrations offer realistic depictions of what written words can only attempt to describe, bringing abstract information to life.
Special sections on the Mishkan and Kohanim’s garments and on the Korbanos clarify these difficult-to-understand topics.
Now available in a beautiful coffee table–sized edition, enhanced with elegant gilded edges and a satin ribbon marker, this volume is as much a treasure to display as it is to study.
