{"product_id":"torah-from-zion","title":"Torah From Zion","description":"\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFew people read the Torah portion from where Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz reads it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAppointed Rabbi of the Western Wall and the Holy Sites of Israel in 1995, he has spent three decades at the Kotel: welcoming presidents and prime ministers, standing beside soldiers and brides and mourners, and twice a year gathering the millions of handwritten notes pressed into its stones. \u003cem\u003eTorah From Zion\u003c\/em\u003e is the weekly parashah seen from that vantage point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach essay begins with something that doesn't sit right in the text. A strange juxtaposition, a word that seems out of place, a law without an obvious reason. Rabbi Rabinowitz turns to the Talmud and the midrash for an answer, and then lands somewhere unexpectedly close to home: raising children in a world that shouts at them from every screen, the quiet work that holds a marriage together, the discipline of gratitude, why we are responsible for one another. The writing is warm and unhurried, free of jargon, and asks nothing of the reader but curiosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA portion a week, a few pages at a time. For the Shabbat table, the shul bookshelf, or anyone who has ever stood at the Wall and wondered what it had to say back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54554749403446,"sku":"7864-49","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2092\/2422\/files\/torah-from-zion-cover.jpg?v=1789365681","url":"https:\/\/www.gefenpublishing.com\/products\/torah-from-zion","provider":"Gefen Publishing House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
