Weekly Insights - Sefer Bereishis

Weekly Insights - Sefer Bereishis

Over the last ten years of publishing the English translation of the Alshich, many people have mentioned that they prefer fewer questions rather than having to “wade through” what can often be a long piece of Alshich from the original seforim. In the hectic world we live in, we are often busy and simply don’t have the time (or patience) to study the original.

With this in mind, in order to facilitate many people’s requests, we have taken a selection of questions from each sidrah and summarised them on a doubled-sided A4 page so that they are quickly and easily read. We have kept to the original style and format as the books to ensure that questions posed are clearly answered. In doing so, we seek to expand the range of readers who can appreciate the holy Alshich’s insights.

The Alshich gave his weekly sermons in his shul in Tzefas on Shabbos morning to a full-capacity audience, including such luminaries as the Arizal, Rav Yosef Karo, the Mabit, Rav Moshe Cordovero, Rav Shlomo Alkabetz, etc. Now you, too, can be “transported” briefly into his audience and benefit from his words of wisdom.

What Other People Think About This Book

Please find below some reviews about our books:

"I have followed the Alshich series since its inception and have always found these books enlightening to read. The way he weaves together a range of ideas, culled and based on earlier sources, to form a unified approach  to his explanations is quite unique. I look forward to the publication of the next book in the series." Michael Singer, Australia.

"I have been studying the Alshich on the weekly Parsha for over 30 years. This new book has allowed me to gain greater access and clarity to a commentary that really should be learnt by more people. In it one finds questions that other commentators have not commented on and often an approach that only he develops. I personally think that if you want a book that is rigorous and stimulating in the approach to the weekly Parsha, this is it." Neville Romer, London

"Having read a substantial portion of the book, I can see how much effort has been put into it. The authors have done a great job of condensing the vast material that the Alshich has written on each sedra without compromising on the Alshich’s overall approach to a particular piece. These books will open the reader's eyes to an original approach on each sedra, one which I have found appealing and enjoyable to read." Jeremy Phillips, Israel.
