Book Review,
This review is from: Torah Commentary for Our Times: Genesis (Torah Commentary for Our Times) (Paperback)
I found this book extremely helpful for my beginners Torah Study. The language and content is clear and concise. It makes each section easy to follow and understand. Mr. Fields selected a variety of commmentaries giving the student-reader numerous points of view and choices. The reader is free to develop his own ideas about the portion reviewed.
I would highly recommend this book for students first begining to study Torah.
