Join co-author and executive director of Jewish Mosaic, Gregg Drinkwater and Professor David Shneer for a discussion about the recently published Torah Queeries: Weekly Commentaries on the Hebrew Bible.  In the Jewish tradition, reading of the Torah follows a calendar cycle, with a specific portion assigned each week. These weekly portions, read aloud in synagogues around the world, have been subject to interpretation and commentary for centuries. Following on this ancient tradition, Torah Queeries brings together some of the world’s leading rabbis, scholars, and writers to interpret the Torah through a "bent lens". With commentaries on the fifty-four weekly Torah portions and six major Jewish holidays, the concise yet substantive writings collected here open up stimulating new insights and highlight previously neglected perspectives.

Torah Queeries: Weekly Commentaries on the Hebrew Bible is edited by Gregg Drinkwater, Joshua Lesser and David Shneer, with  foreword by Judith Plaskow.
