The JPS B'Nai Mitzvah Torah Commentary - Paperback
by Jeffrey K. Salkin (Author)
This is fantastic! It's a game-changer for b'nai mitzvah, their parents and teachers. Salkin's fresh insights remind us how transformative this experience can be.--Rabbi Aaron Miller, Washington Hebrew Congregation
For too many Jewish young people, bar/bat mitzvah has been the beginning of the end of their Jewish journeys. When students perceive the Torah as incomprehensible or irrelevant, many form the false impression that Judaism has nothing to say to them.
Enter the game-changer: the JPS B'nai Mitzvah Torah Commentaryshows teens in their own language how Torah addresses the issues in their world. The conversational tone is inviting and dignified, concise and substantial, direct and informative. The narrative summaries, "big" ideas, model divrei Torah, haftarot commentaries, and discussion questions will engage teens in studying the Torah and haftarot, in writing divrei Torah, and in continuing to learn Torah throughout their lives--making it the book every rabbi, cantor, parent, and tutor will also want to have. Jewish learning--for young people and adults--will never be the same. Weekly portion pamphlets are now available for every parasha of The JPS B'nai Mitzvah Torah Commentary!Author Biography
