What can the weekly Torah portion teach a thinking person today?
The ideas of the Torah have improved and advanced human civilisation. In Ideas: Bereshit, Sina Kahen draws together thought from ancient to modern times and presents each weekly Torah portion through the worldly tradition of intellect and integration.
With insights from science, philosophy, psychology, and history, each chapter is intellectually honest, spiritually fulfilling, and short enough to discuss at the Shabbat table.
