You know what made Rabbi Sachs distinctive?

He created Torah commentary for this generation, people who want to engage thoughtfully with the world while staying rooted in tradition.

He didn't ask you to choose between serious Torah study and intellectual engagement with contemporary ideas.

Instead, he showed how Torah wisdom can engage with philosophy, science, ethics, the big questions

thoughtful people care about. Now his approach is available in complete Chumish format. It's called

the Rabbi Sachs Chimish, and his commentary is integrated right with the Torah text alongside

Rashi and Unkelis. If you're someone who wants Torah study that engages seriously with the intellectual currents of our time, this is the Torah commentary for our generation. Now available at koranpub.com. That's k-O-R-E-N-P-U-B-com or at your local bookstore.

And I'll just add, just on a personal note, I have seen the Rabbi Sacks-Klemish.

It is really incredible, and I think Rabbi Sacks as a translator, in the greatest sense of the word, when I say translator, I don't mean somebody who took a word from one language and rendered into another

language. What I mean is somebody who is able to translate ideas and values in a way that

preserves the timelessness and eternity of those ideas, yet is able to translate them in a way

that resonates for our generation. I have seen the Rabbi Sachs-Homish.

I have learned it. I have studied from it. And I could not recommend it more to our listeners.

This should be in every Jewish home. It's now available at corinpub.com or at your local bookstore.
