Reviews"Rabbi Bohm's important work opens up each weekly Torah portion in ways that will touch the soul of individual seekers and will serve as the basis for creating community through shared study and conversation. Her beautiful language is accessible and rich, allowing Torah to touch our hearts and minds. This book provides a compelling and persuasive argument for the contemporary relevance of Torah study, explicitly in its introduction, but implicitly on each and every page. This new book is a vital resource for adult learners, rabbis and educators." Rabbi Leon A. Morris, President of Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies, based in Jerusalem and New York City "What I really love about this book is its accessibility. A lay-leader could pick it up and use it to lead a Torah study group with great success. Yet at the same time, it offers a grounded, scholarly, feminist perspective on each Torah portion, offering a rich source of sermonic material. A genuinely useful book!" Rabbi Kari Tuling, author of Thinking about God "Rabbi Lenore Bohm has written a very accessible, appealing, and challenging book that is a gem for Christians as well as members of the Jewish community. She has done the work of Torah which, as its name implies, 'instructs' and 'guides' adults through key passages of the Hebrew Bible. Using an approach that explains stand-out phrases and verses, offers questions to illuminate the texts and invites readers to make practical connections to their own lives, this book ultimately leads to personal reflection and prayer. With the help of Rabbi Bohm's knowledge and creative insight, adults will discover or rediscover trustworthy wisdom for life in today's world. I heartily recommend this treasure for seekers and for those charged with bringing the scriptures alive for their communities." Barbara Quinn, RSCJ, Associate Director of Spiritual Formation, Boston College School of Theology and Ministry "Rabbi Bohm's book is indeed a treasure-both for those who think that they know the Torah already and for those who have never studied at an adult level before. Her book will open your mind to some of the questions that the Torah asks of us as well as to some of the questions that we should ask when we confront the Bible. I promise you that this is a book that you will find well worth reading, and that you will want to reread many times." Rabbi Jack Riemer, author of Finding God in Unexpected Places
SynopsisTorah Tutor explores the Bible's early books highlighting themes for moral, spiritual and intellectual growth. This contemporary self-guided study is ideal for individual seekers and group discussions., In Torah Tutor, Rabbi Lenore Bohm draws on a lifetime of teaching about the Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, starting with Genesis. Early reviewers of the book praise the timeliness of the themes lifted up in this contemporary self-guided study, which is ideal for individual seekers and group discussions. "Reading this may become one of the most meaningful parts of your week, renewing, enriching and energizing you," says the Foreword by Rabbi Sally J. Priesand, America's first woman ordained as a rabbi. Priesand calls Torah Tutor "a well-researched volume relying on the wisdom of diverse scholars. Torah Tutor is organized according to the weekly portion, or parasha. After summarizing the parasha's basic events, Bohm draws our attention to verses that stand out, some of which we may not have realized originate in the Torah. This is followed by ideas to think or talk about, making the portion easy to approach for individual study or group discussion. Finally, Rabbi Bohm offers a focus phrase to strengthen our spiritual awareness during the week." Whether reading as an individual or discussing the weekly readings with others, Priesand says these reflections will lead to moral, spiritual and intellectual growth. Each reader is likely to uncover different treasures in these pages. "Where we are in our own lives at a particular moment enriches the search and the discovery," she writes. Christian reviewers find the same is true as they also seek to study these shared sacred books. "As a Christian, I have always loved the stories and wisdom in the Bible. Rabbi Bohm expresses that same love in Torah Tutor. With each portion of the Torah, she lovingly crafts questions and insights that draw us into the heart of God," says the Rev. Sharon Buttry, an author and peace activist in American Baptist Churches. Scholars praise the breadth and depth of the book. Jessica Pressman, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, San Diego State University, writes: "Rabbi Lenore Bohm offers her heart and wisdom but also, importantly, her expertise in arranging, managing, and navigating the immensity of Torah study. In this short, brilliantly organized book, Rabbi Bohm provides scaffolding for accessing Torah, for learning to talk about, think, and focus on Torah. This is a gift of a book by a very gifted rabbi."
