The brilliance of the Malbim - finally accessible to
all.
Since its publication almost a century and a half ago, the Torah commentary
of Malbim by Rabbi Meir Leibush ben Yechiel Michel, has made a
major contribution to our understanding of Torah thought. A master of textual
analysis, Malbim examines the nuances and subtleties of every word of Torah,
discovering layers of meaning and revealing important and profound ideas and
concepts. However, the poetic and often cryptic style which characterizes much
of his language makes translation extremely problematic and almost all of his
works have therefore remained inaccessible to the English-speaking public.
In order to open this treasure trove of Jewish thought to the general public,
Rabbi Reuven Subar, working closely with Rabbi Mendel Weinbach,
Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivas Ohr Somayach, have crafted a series of essays based on
the essentials of Malbim's commentary on Sefer Bereishis.
In these essays we deepen our appreciation and awe for the Torah's infinite
wisdom; we gain a new understanding of the connection between the Oral and
Written law; and we are introduced to a masterful Torah giant whose genius,
recognized even during his own time, becomes even more apparent in our own days.
