Role: Author

A unique and sustaining example of Schachter-Shalomi鈥檚 approach to scriptural interpretation.

Dana Densmore brings to light an unpublished and nearly unknown set of teachings of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, based on his readings of the Torah, the Hebrew Bible. This material, which exists only as voice recordings, is the sole sustained example of Schachter-Shalomi’s approach to scriptural interpretation, published or unpublished.
