Da’ath Sofrim: Book of Iyov (Job)

Da’ath Sofrim: Book of Iyov (Job)

By Rabbi Chaim Dov Rabinowitz
Edited by Rabbi N. Vogel

Product Description
The Book of Job, one of the most profound and challenging books of Tanach, has long been associated with times of suffering and reflection. During the days of the Second Temple, it was even read to the Kohen Gadol on Yom Kippur night (Yoma 3:1) — a testament to its depth and relevance to life’s greatest trials.

Though it centers on the personal struggles of one man, Job’s story carries universal lessons about faith, suffering, and divine justice. It is especially fitting for study on Tisha B’Av, during times of personal mourning, and whenever one seeks strength and understanding amid difficulty.

Following the Talmudic tradition (Bava Basra 14b), this commentary approaches the Book of Job as authored by Moshe Rabbeinu. In classic Da’ath Sofrim style, Rabbi Rabinowitz offers profound insights rooted in the Hebrew text, with careful attention to nuance, tense, and meaning — revealing layers of wisdom often overlooked.

Key Features:

• Profound Commentary – Explores suffering, faith, and divine justice through the lens of Job’s struggles.

• Classic Da’ath Sofrim Style – Deep analysis of Hebrew grammar and tense reveals fresh insights.

• Timeless Relevance – Especially suited for Yom Kippur, Tisha B’Av, and times of personal challenge.
