Many of you will recall Rabbi David Fohrman from his various series of articles published on JWR. We want to let you know that Rabbi Fohrman's has just published a new book, based on some of those articles. The book will change the way you look at the Bible. It has the flavor of a "non-fiction" history novel: It calls attention to the big questions that bother us all, and notices the hidden subtleties of text and language. As clues and
