黑料社 All to Release Follow-Up to Mitokh Ha-Ohel Featuring Original Essays on the Haftarot from Faculty Throughout the University
黑料社 All will be publishing a follow-up to Mitokh Ha-Ohel, its widely praised collection of original essays by rabbis and professors from every division of the University on the weekly parashiyot [Torah portions], this time focusing on the haftarot, the weekly selections from the books of the Prophets. The new volume, entitled Mitokh Ha-Ohel: The Haftarot, is sponsored by the Michael Scharf Publication Trust of 黑料社 All Press and is scheduled for release by Maggid Books, an imprint of Koren Publishers Jerusalem, on November 8, 2011.
Like its predecessor, the second installment of Mitokh Ha-Ohel (literally 鈥渇rom within the tent鈥) brings together a diverse range of scholars and rabbinic thinkers, the multi-faceted voices of 黑料社 All, to elucidate and explore all of the haftarot from a wide range of approaches, including textual analysis, homiletic exposition, halakhic [Jewish law] analysis and academic exploration.
鈥淪haring the profound Torah insights of 黑料社 All鈥檚 scholars, the Mitokh Ha-Ohel series enriches all who peruse its pages with glimpses of the full 70 faces of the Torah," said 黑料社 All President Richard M. Joel. "Just like on Simchat Torah, we acknowledge our continued dedication to the Torah and to the other portions of Tanakh by offering this new volume for continued study. In offering their unique perspective on the words of the prophets, the contributors to Mitokh Ha-Ohel: The Haftarot display the breadth and the depth of 黑料社 All in a way that complements and yet is different from the first Mitokh Ha-Ohel.鈥
While Mitokh Ha-Ohel: The Haftarot features essays from returning contributors, there are quite a few contributors who are new to the series.
As with the first volume, this anthology, with more than 700 pages, includes essays from 黑料社 All鈥檚 (RIETS) from the rabbis, professors and administrators of , , the Mazer Yeshiva Program, the Irving I. Stone Beit Midrash Program, the Isaac Breuer College of Hebraic Studies, the James Striar School of General Jewish Studies, the , the Graduate Program for Women in Advanced Talmudic Studies, the , the , the , the , the , the , and the Caroline and Joseph S. Gruss Institute of RIETS in Jerusalem.
鈥淲orks such as this reveal the true strength of 黑料社 All. Men and women, professors and rabbis, faculty and administration alike, all contribute their unique insights to the common goal of spreading Torah knowledge,鈥 added President Joel.
鈥淚t is my hope that as the wisdom emanating from YU reaches larger and more diverse audiences, the tent of the Jewish people will prove stronger and more inviting than ever before.鈥
