Raglei Yaakov
Yaakov Astor on the Parshah
Bereishis through Vayeilech, in one volume.
Raglei Yaakov: Yaakov Astor on the Parshah collects the pieces Yaakov Astor has been writing on the parshah most weeks for the past few years, which have run in the Monsey Mevaser. Four hundred pages, every parshah from Bereishis through Vayeilech.
It isn’t a commentary, and it doesn’t try to be. What it does is look at the parshah for the patterns underneath it — the ones that keep repeating, in the Torah and in the years since. Ketia bar Shalom in a Roman chamber. The Netziv, who nearly became a blacksmith. Reb Shmuel Berenbaum staying below deck while the whole Mir went up to see the Golden Gate at sunset. The stories are there because ideas that stay abstract don’t stay with you.
