Rabbi Dr. Israel Drazin brings a rabbi's learning, a lawyer's precision, and a scholar's rigor to the Bible and Jewish thought. He served 31 years in the U.S. Army, retiring as a Brigadier General and the first Jewish Assistant Chief of Chaplains, holds a PhD in Aramaic literature, and is admitted to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court. His books take a rational approach to Judaism in the tradition of Maimonides.
Onkelos on the Torah: With Dr. Stanley M. Wagner, a volume-by-volume study of Targum Onkelos, the classic Aramaic translation of the Torah, from Genesis to Deuteronomy, also available as a boxed set. Understanding Onkelos is available in Hebrew.
Maimonides and Jewish thought: Maimonides: The Exceptional Mind, Maimonides and the Biblical Prophets, and Maimonides: Reason Above All (also as a 3-volume set), Nachmanides: An Unusual Thinker, and the five volumes of Mysteries of Judaism.
The Bible, read closely: The What We Don't Know About God and People in the Bible series (Genesis to Deuteronomy), the Unusual Bible Interpretations series, and portraits of biblical figures, including King David, King Solomon, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, and Samson.
