Reflections on Ethics. Conversations on the Weekly Torah Portions

"In reality, the Tanakh, - writes Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, - from beginning to end, is entirely a story of love: the passionate love of the Creator for His creations, which has not faded after all the disappointments and treacherous acts in human history." This love story is what the author narrates in his conversations, uncovering hidden meanings and expanding the perception of well-known truths, operating with vast encyclopedic knowledge and allowing the reader to unravel eternal mysteries. Is there justice in the world? Why, although God is slow to anger and full of mercy, is the list of curses much longer than the list of blessings? Why did the era of the prophets come to an end? Why is the Torah (especially the book of Bereshit) full of convoluted family stories of love and hate? Answers to these and many other questions can be found in this book.
