Listening for God in Torah and Creation
Author: Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg
Genre: Religion; Jewish studies
Rating: ★★★★☆
Jonathan Wittenberg’s Listening for God in Torah and Creation offers a thoughtful series of short reflections on each weekly parashah of the Hebrew Torah, guiding readers through the full annual cycle of Torah readings. Drawing connections between the text of Scripture, the natural world, and the rhythms of human life, Wittenberg invites readers to encounter the Torah not only as ancient teaching but as a living conversation between God, creation, and community. The commentaries are concise yet rich with insight, making them accessible for personal study, synagogue preparation, or weekly reflection. I found the perspectives fresh and engaging—an excellent companion for anyone following the yearly Torah reading cycle and looking for meaningful new insights along the way.
