The power of Torah. The power of change.
Central to the life of the Jewish family is the time they spend together
around the Shabbos and Yom Tov table -- a warm and convivial setting that
invites conversation and the exchange of thoughts and ideas. Yet words alone do
not make for an elevated Shabbos experience; when the discussion around the
table is mundane and inconsequential, the experience is rendered similarly
meaningless. But when the table talk is enhanced by Torah ideas that can be
applied to daily life, then even the most simple meal becomes a vehicle for
personal growth and transformation.
The power of the Torah to change lives is a concept that the authors of an
extraordinary new collection of essays, Torah for Your Table, understand
well. Through their work for Hineini -- the pioneering Jewish outreach
organization founded and headed by their mother, renowned author and lecturer
Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis -- Rabbis Yisroel and Osher Anshel Jungreis
have personally witnessed and played a role in the spiritual renewal of tens of
thousands of Jewish neshomos. With their new book, the authors continue
their holy mission to bring Torah to Jews; wherever they are and whatever their
level of observance, Torah for Your Table speaks to one and all.
Compiled by Rebbetzin Jungreis, who knows from vast personal experience how
Torah words can elevate every heart and penetrate even the most distant Jewish
neshama, these beautifully crafted essays on the weekly Torah portions lend
timeless relevance to our lives. But it is not only around the Shabbos table
that this book can make a difference. Its wisdom is applicable in every setting
-- in one's own home or at formal or informal gatherings.
Whether you are a newcomer to Torah thought or have dedicated many years to
its study, Torah for Your Table will enhance the flavor of your every
meal.
