Permeated by Torah,

This review is from: The Written and Oral Torah: A Comprehensive Introduction (Hardcover)
Rabbi Cardozo has become one of the most significant teaches of Torah we have today .In this early work he provides an introductory explanation of Torah study. His work is divided into the following major units" 1)The Written Torah 2) The Mitzvot 3)The Orally Transmitted Torah 4) The Categories of the Orally Transmitted Torah 5)The Rules of Interpretation 6)The Aggadah .
Among the ideas transmitted in the work are the idea that freedom is to live in accordance with divinely ordanied axioms. And that each generation was given the freedom to reproduce its own exegisis. There is the Kabbalistic idea that the entire Torah is the Name of G-d. And the idea certainly illustrated by Rabbi Cardozo's life and work, that when a person becomes permeated by Torah they then become able to transmit it.
