He is a charter member of the Society for the Study of Judaism and Science. "The Bedside Torah" guides you into the wisdom, counsel, and holiness of the sacred text that is the center of Jewish spirituality. Rabbi Bradley Artson, one of the truly inspirational and knowledgeable teachers of Torah of our time, weaves together the insights of ancient rabbis and sages, medieval commentators and philosophers, and modern scholars and religious leaders. The reflections in this collection offer three different commentaries on each of the 50 Torah portions, enlightening you into the Torah's infinite layers of meaning and offering opportunities to discover interpretations of your own. "The Bedside Torah" is an introduction to Jewish text study that is both learned and engaging. . . The language is conversational, the insights provocative, and the chapters are just the right length for reading before an inspired night's sleep." --Anita Diamant, author of "The New Jewish Wedding," "Choosing a Jewish Life," "How to Be a Jewish Parent," "The Red Tent," and "Good Harbor" "Bradley Artson is one of the most insightful and articulate rabbis of his generation, as this volume clearly attests."--Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of "When Bad Things Happen to Good People" "In "The Bedside Torah," Rabbi Artson combines wisdom garnered from traditional Jewish sources and commentaries with anecdotes and insights drawn from his own life as well as the lives of all those he has served. In so doing, he has turned each weekly Torah portion into a series of revelations for the reader. "The Bedside Torah" is a treasure that will surely enrich the religious life of Jews as well as all those who seek comfort and guidance from Jewish scriptures."--Rabbi David Ellenson, Ph.D., president, Hebrew Union College--Jewish Institute of Religion.
