A Journey into the
Inner Soul of the Torah

What did G-d really want to happen when He put a man, a
woman, a serpent, and a forbidden tree together in a garden,
and what does this tell us about our own transgressions and
debacles? ... How do we build our own "Noah's ark" to escape
the flood of material worries and cares that threaten to drown
our spiritual sensitivities? ... Which is the more important goal
to pursue, tranquility or joy? ... The eighty essays in this volume
each explore an event from the book of Genesis to illuminate
the big questions of life as well as its most rudimentary concerns.
