In this series, Rabbi Dr. Israel Drazin offers readers comprehensive, eye-opening, easy-to-read revelations showing that the Bible purposely avoids presenting clear descriptions of the thinking and behavior of God and biblical people. Ambiguities and obscurities appear in virtually every situation and invite readers to imagine their own details, prompting them to ask questions and to learn from their own answers.
Dr. Drazin emphasizes that proper understanding comes only from asking questions, and shows that, contrary to what many think, the Hebrew Bible tells us very little about God and about what biblical people thought and did. With this understanding, readers will not be surprised that ancient and modern commentators, religious and non-religious, interpret the Torah so differently.
This third volume of the five-volume series turns to the Book of Leviticus, with its laws of sacrifices, the priesthood, purity and holiness.
Rabbi Dr. Israel Drazin served thirty-one years in the US military, attaining the rank of brigadier general. He is a rabbi and an attorney, holds a PhD, and is the author of many books on the Bible, Targum Onkelos and Maimonides.
