  • Finding America in Numbers
    Michael J. Broyde / Reuven Travis
    The book of Numbers is more than an ancient chronicle--it is a profound exploration of leadership, justice, and the interplay between faith and freedom. While many wrestle with its depiction of an angry God, this fresh perspective reveals its ongoing relevance, especially for secular Americans. Numbers offers profound insights into the foundations of democracy, illustrating tha...

  • Between the Laws of God and Man
    Reuven Travis
    How does one navigate living religiously in a secular world? Where life is governed not just by the laws of faith, but by the laws of the state as well, what does ''doing the right thing'' actually mean? When people think about the interplay between religious and secular law, certain meta-issues arise, such as, how does one weigh what is legal (which secular law demands) versus...

  • Finding America in Leviticus
    Michael J. Broyde / Reuven Travis
    It would seem that we have taken on an impossible task in this book: trying to demonstrate to modern Americans, be they secular or religious, Jews or Christians, that the sacrificial rites found in Leviticus have any germaneness to their lives. After all, to the extent that any modern reader turns to the pages of Leviticus at all, the notion that they would be inspired by the t...

  • A Curious Student’s Guide to the Book of Leviticus
    Reuven Travis
    Judaism has always found meaning in the sacrificial rites, called avodah or service in Hebrew. For more than twelve hundred years, beginning with the Mishkan (the Tabernacle) in the Sinai wilderness and continuing through both the First and Second Temple periods, animal sacrifice was the principal form of communal service of God for the Jewish people. This all came to an abrupt...

  • Finding America in Exodus
    Michael J. Broyde / Reuven Travis
    God’s charge to the Jewish people at Sinai was to be ''a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.'' Nowhere is freedom found in this exhortation, even though the Jews had been freed from slavery only seven weeks prior. That is because the Jews were not liberated merely to become a free people. God wanted them and expected them to evolve into a nation committed to creating a law-ab...

  • A Curious Student’s Guide to the Book of Deuteronomy
    Reuven Travis
    One of the most common phrases in the Torah is ''And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying . . .'' So many of the Torah’s commandments are introduced in this way. These words represent God speaking to Moses and instructing him what to repeat or teach to the Jewish people. Yet, this phrase is not found at all in Deuteronomy, and this helps explain why this book is so very different fr...

  • A Curious Student’s Guide to the Book of Numbers
    Reuven Travis
    As with both its predecessors, this book of life lessons derived from the Bible is meant for elementary school students and their parents. One arguably simplistic approach to looking at Numbers is to see it as a story of a sinful people and a wrathful God. However, the stories in Numbers are rarely black and white. This book strives to examine Numbers in more nuanced depth, whi...

  • A Curious Student’s Guide to the Book of Genesis
    Reuven Travis
    Genesis contains a rich, nuanced text, and yet, when taught to children, it is often done through a series of ''factoids,'' such as the number of animals brought into the ark or Esau’s red lentil soup. Worst still, children are frequently discouraged from asking questions about its complex storylines. This book was written to redress both pedagogical shortcomings. It does so by...

  • Sex in the Garden
    Michael J. Broyde / Michael JBroyde / Reuven Travis
    In the #MeToo times in which we live, there are few hard and fast rules that govern personal encounters and sexual liaisons. Consent, so long as it is neither coerced nor forced, dictates all. Astute students of the Bible will see this aspect of our current social milieu reflected in the book of Genesis. Genesis is not a book about laws. There are no ''thou shall'' or ''thou sh...

  • Sefer BeMidbar as Sefer HaMiddot
    Reuven Travis
    While it is true the Bible does relate important episodes in the history of the Jewish people, it is thought of as being much more than a history book. This is why many question the Bible’s rationale for including a book such as Numbers, one that seems to be little more than a history book. In comparison, Genesis as a history book makes sense. It tells of the creation of the he...

  • From Job to the Shoah
    Reuven Travis
    In Job’s final concession to God, he uses a phrase generally translated from the Hebrew as, ''Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes'' (afar va-eifer). A very small number of scholars see this translation as forced. While most translations have Job referring to himself with the words afar va-eifer, this small group of scholars does not believe the Hebrew to be s...
