The author who brought the text of the Bible alive for a generation of primary grade readers, now brings the Torah text and modern commentary to the classroom for students pre- and post-Bar Mitzvah. Each chapter covers one weekly portion, featuring:
- Liberal amounts of Torah text in gender-sensitive translations prepared by the author for this commentary
- Interactive classroom and topical discussion questions accompanying each portion
- Graphs, charts, maps, and photographs of the realia of archaeological and biblical criticism
- A synopsis of the Haftarah for each portion and the traditional reason it was chosen to accompany the portion.
- Wide-ranging comments from Talmud, Midrash, Rashi, and other traditional commentators; set side-by-side with comments from modern Bible scholars from Cassuto and Leibowitz to Peli and Sarna; set side-by-side with evidence from archaeology, linguistics, Egyptology, Assyriology, and a dozen other sciences that have been applied to the study of Torah over the last two centuries.
- Mindful incorporation of the best educational techniques from design, values education, and modern modeling.
