Books by David Weiss Halivni

In this thought-provoking book, David Weiss Halivni asserts that the act of acknowledging and accounting for inconsistencies in the Pentateuchal text is not alien to the biblical or rabbinic tradition and need not belie the tradition of Revelation.

How is it possible, after the Shoah, to declare one's faith in the God of Israel? Halivni, Auschwitz survivor and one of the greatest Talmudic scholars, declares that at this time of God's near absence, Jews can still observe the words of the Torah and pray for God to come near again. This book addresses the question.
