Essential Torah Words, Names, And Phrases

Essential Torah Words, Names, and Phrases, a book unlike any other. Arranged in an easy-to-read, A – Z format, the book outlines many of the words and phrases found in the Torah. Names of Rabbis, Sages, Prophets, and Tzaddikim are listed. Many of the Rabbis are known by the seforim (Torah books) they wrote, the places that they lived in, and the Hasidic Dynasties they were a part of. The book includes the names of all the laws of the Rambam’s Mishneh Torah. English translations to Hebrew, are conveniently listed to the right of each word, name, and phrase in the book. Also included is an extensive listing of Torah related websites and a bibliography of more than 70 books, to be used as a springboard for further learning. The book is available only as a paperback so it can be used on Shabbat. It is intended for men and women, of all ages and levels. Those who did not attend Yeshiva or Hebrew School or have little knowledge of Torah will find it particularly useful. It is a book for those who seek to learn about the Torah and the wisdom of the Jewish heritage and tradition.
