The Heart of Torah

Rabbi Shai Held

Review from The Englewood Review of Books:

“My wife is a rabbi. I’m a Catholic. We both love Torah and often study together. We once had a routine on Friday afternoons in which I’d go to noon mass and she’d join me afterwards for Friday fish at a local restaurant. Over lunch, we’d read aloud Shai Held’s weekly parashah . . . Held is a particularly astute and warm-hearted commentator.”
