Full Description
The power of Torah. The power of change.
Central
to the life of the Jewish family is the time they spend together around
the Shabbos and Yom Tov table -- a warm and convivial setting that
invites conversation and the exchange of thoughts and ideas. Yet words
alone do not make for an elevated Shabbos experience; when the
discussion around the table is mundane and inconsequential, the
experience is rendered similarly meaningless. But when the “table talk”
is enhanced by Torah ideas that can be applied to daily life, then even
the most simple meal becomes a vehicle for personal growth and
transformation.
The power of the Torah to change lives is a concept that the authors of an extraordinary new collection of essays, Torah for Your Table,
understand well. Through their work for Hineini -- the pioneering
Jewish outreach organization founded and headed by their mother,
renowned author and lecturer Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis
-- Rabbis Yisroel and Osher Anshel Jungreis have personally witnessed
and played a role in the spiritual renewal of tens of thousands of
Jewish neshomos. With their new book, the authors continue
their holy mission to bring Torah to Jews; wherever they are and
whatever their level of observance, Torah for Your Table speaks to one and all.
Compiled by Rebbetzin Jungreis, who knows from vast personal experience
how Torah words can elevate every heart and penetrate even the most
distant Jewish neshama, these beautifully crafted essays on the weekly
Torah portions lend timeless relevance to our lives. But it is not only
around the Shabbos table that this book can make a difference. Its
wisdom is applicable in every setting -- in one's own home or at formal
or informal gatherings.
Whether you are a newcomer to Torah thought or have dedicated many years to its study, Torah for Your Table will enhance the flavor of your every meal.
