In this second collection of his essays on Tanakh, Rabbi Hayyim Angel continues to present his learning methodology and in-depth text studies to a wider readership. This book contains four articles exploring the principles of learning methodology, followed by sixteen text studies that apply those principles. The collection as a whole invites readers into the learning process, understanding individual passages while utilizing the underlying methodology developed and applied by our classical commentators through the ages.
