It Takes Two to Torah: An Orthodox Rabbi and Reform Journalist Discuss and Debate Their Way Through the Five Books of Moses

Description

For the first time, in a single volume, readers can take a tour of the entire Torah through the medium of one challenging, instructive, irreverent, animated conversation. Rabbi Dov Linzer, an Orthodox rabbi, and Abigail Pogrebin, a Reform journalist talk their way through the Five Books of Moses with candor, humor, emotion, personal revelation, and scholarship.

Join us for a special evening at The Hub as Abby and Dov share the journey they undertook in writing this book together, and what they learned from every step of the way.

Rabbi Dov Linzer is President and Rabbinic Head of YCT Rabbinical School (a Modern Orthodox seminary, ) and Abigail Pogrebin is a veteran journalist, author of "My Jewish Year: 18 Holidays, One Wondering Jew" and former producer for "60 Minutes." Dov is a renowned expert in Torah and Talmud, whose personal values run liberal and egalitarian, but who also has clear parameters about what is halachically correct and comfortable when it comes to Jewish law and tradition. Abby is our relatable every-Jew in America, deeply engaged in Jewish life, but less through strict observance and prayer as through study, reporting, synagogue, and community. This book is the product of two people literally meeting in the middle to bring us their most honest intellectual and relevant understanding of the Torah.
