The Torah of Brisk - Volume 2 - Sefer Shemos

Thoughts and Insights on the Chumash From the Rabbis of the Brisker Dynasty

The Torah of Brisk on the weekly Parashah is a treasure-chest of concise and brilliant insights, gleaned from the holy legacy of the rabbanim of the Brisker Dynasty, renowned for their genius in Torah.

These Torah jewels are culled from the five-volume Hebrew series, Shai LaTorah, first fruits of the prolific talmid chacham, Rabbi Shimon Yosef Meller, shlit”a, of Jerusalem, author of many works on the House of Brisk. Since its first printing two decades ago, Shai LaTorah has gained worldwide fame.

Torah scholars and laymen, young and old alike, will be delighted by the thought-provoking observations, parables, and true stories in The Torah of Brisk. With a brief perusal the reader will find just the right “vort” for any occasion among the sparkling gems of thought in these sefarim.

The sefarim draw much of their material from the Chumash shiurim of Rav Meshullam Dovid HaLevi Soloveitchik,  zt”l, head of Yeshivas Brisk in Jerusalem and son of the illustrious Brisker Rav, Rav Yitzchak Zev HaLevi Soloveitchik, zt”l.

In response to overwhelming demand, these marvelous sefarim are now being made available in English, offering a taste of the matchless “Brisker learning style” to those who, until now, have been unable to savor its delights.
