The book follows step by step the parshiot, weekly readings of the first five books of the Bible, and underlines the significance each time, in a few pages with some clarity. The author uses his erudition and refers to the great texts of the Jewish tradition and his own masters. This is a collection reconstituted from texts written over several years. We regret very oriented reading, frequently irritating, that constantly exaggerates the political or historical significance of Biblical passages, and takes up repeatedly other approaches. The author criticizes the reformed and currents or assimilation. What is more serious philosophically, he absolutely condemns all those who question the urgency of a historical vocation for Judaism; we oppose him on that thought more profound Franz Rosenzweig in "Star of Redemption" (work that one can discover from the very good "Angel of History" Stéphane Mosès) or very nice article about patience Catherine Chalier (the other editions); including the first outside Judaism as the history, the second exponent with finesse both attitudes (both authentically Jewish).
