The Bedside Torah : Wisdom, Visions, and Dreams

I generally love Rabbi Artson's theological works, but this is just kind of pedantic. There are better Parashot studies and inspirational works out there. Check out R. Yael Levy.

This book honestly helps me get a little alone time with my religion when I feel like I don't have time to do much 'work.' This book is well written, succinct but poignant, and I DEFINITELY recommend it for any beginners, though there is much good material in there for seasoned Jews.

Rabbi Artsen provides a short synopsis of the weekly Torah Portion. The Rabbi then writes three different encapsulated views about the parasha for the week. The author brings modern insight to the ancient laws of the Jewish people.The book is written with the plan to bring the Torah into our lives sprinkling a daily taste of the ancient scrolls into our lives. I recommend this book for those who want to try understanding the Torah by getting a quick read daily and perhaps use this to whet our apatite for the full version of the Five Books of Moses.

Very accessible book, but I would have liked to have more modern day interpretations.

Well written and concise.

Great book. Love to give itcas a gift. Makes the study of Torah fun for a layperson.

Perfect book to read before closing the light and going to sleepALSO the perfect book to start the day with

The stories and thoughts are very insightful and uplifting.It's easy to pick up the book and jump around if you miss a week.Three dvars per weekly reading are diverse and fun to read.Weekly summaries are concise yet very good recaps.

This book is wonderful. I takes a story and then gives three different explanations or views/commentaries. It is really really good. When I read the story about Isaac I was blown away and took it to my bible study the following week as I was so anxious to share it! Really worth while. And it is easy to read as well as the type of book you can pick up and put down at will.
