Written and compiled by a beloved rabbi whose prayerbooks are a mainstay of Reform Judaism, Day by Day takes us from Genesis to Deuteronomy, enlivening our understanding and enriching our spirit as it follows the weekly Torah readings held in synagogues every Sabbath throughout the year. Each chapter offers an excerpt from the week's Torah reading, Rabbi Stern's engaging explication of its main theme, and reflections to enlighten every day of the week.NOTES: Purchased from Amazon.com.
