Soloveitchik, the Rav: \u201cHe did not leave unstudied Scripture, Mishnah, Gemara, halachah, Aggadah . . . great matters or small matters.\u201d In fact, the Rav\u2019s attention to the \u201csmall matters\u201d was a defining characteristic of his greatness\u2014he discovered the halachic as well as the philosophical meaning of many \u201cmere customs\u201d and seemingly minor practices. Thus, in some ways, the <em>birkon<\/em>\u2014an often overlooked book of Jewish liturgy\u2014represents an ideal vehicle for transmitting the Rav\u2019s rich world of fundamental concepts and ideas.<\/p>\n<p>The Mesorat HaRav Birkon is a unique work that provides a companion for Shabbat, <em>yom tov<\/em>, and other special occasions\u2014such as the wedding, <em>sheva berachot<\/em>, and the <em>brit milah<\/em> ceremonies\u2014as well as for the blessings recited every day. Rabbi David Hellman has skillfully assembled the Rav\u2019s thought on these topics from a diverse collection of sources to form a running commentary on the <em>birkon<\/em>. The Mesorat HaRav Birkon also contains a section of <em>reshimot <\/em>(summaries) and <em>hanhagot<\/em> (personal customs), which record in-depth halachic explanations and the Rav\u2019s personal practices, compiled in consultation with those who knew the Rav firsthand to ensure their accuracy. In addition, the Birkon includes three essays on the Rav\u2019s conceptual understanding of Birkat Hamazon, <em>zimmun<\/em> and Kiddush\u2014areas in which the Rav\u2019s major contributions required a full-length treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Following upon the success of the Mesorat HaRav volumes of the <em>kinot<\/em>, <em>siddur<\/em> and Chumash, the Mesorat HaRav Birkon will undoubtedly be received eagerly as another outstanding addition to the library of the Rav\u2019s masterful works.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ouwp\/images\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1679436384\/Jewishaction\/oupress-2_14111f6c5a\/oupress-2_14111f6c5a.png?_i=AA\"><img width=\"146\" height=\"217\" data-public-id=\"Jewishaction\/oupress-2_14111f6c5a\/oupress-2_14111f6c5a.png\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-post-14189 wp-image-14111\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ouwp\/images\/w_146,h_217,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1679436384\/Jewishaction\/oupress-2_14111f6c5a\/oupress-2_14111f6c5a.png?_i=AA\" alt=\"oupress 2\" data-format=\"png\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1679436384\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" \/><\/a>Person in the Parasha: Discovering the Human Element in the Weekly Torah Portion<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>By Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb<br \/>\nOU Press and Maggid Books<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As many readers of these pages are already aware, Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, OU executive vice president, emeritus, served both as a longtime community rabbi and as a trained therapist. The perspective resulting from this rare combination is the inspiration for this refreshingly original work on the weekly <em>parashah<\/em>.

Rabbi Weinreb invokes a wide range of thinkers, well-known and otherwise, from both the Jewish and non-Jewish worlds, whose contributions help further our understanding. But perhaps the sharpest tool in his arsenal is the well-placed anecdote. We learn from personal psychology mentors no less than from Mildred, the gentile cleaning lady who meticulously cleaned every book in the house for Passover, uninstructed: \u201cWhen I told Mildred that she really didn\u2019t have to do that, she responded, \u2018Rabbi!

According to Rabbi Goldfinger, <em>tefillah<\/em> is organized to foster a relationship between God and His people. Subjecting the sequence and words of the prayers to close analysis, Rabbi Goldfinger uncovers patterns that convey closeness and distance, the attitude of a son and that of a servant, which characterize our relationship with the Almighty. With these tools, Rabbi Goldfinger explains the sequence of Pesukei de\u2019Zimra, the blessings of the Shema, and the crescendo reached in the Amidah, in which we can attain closeness to our Creator.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ouwp\/images\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1679436380\/Jewishaction\/oupress-pull2\/oupress-pull2.png?_i=AA\"><img width=\"300\" height=\"77\" data-public-id=\"Jewishaction\/oupress-pull2\/oupress-pull2.png\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-post-14189 wp-image-14113 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ouwp\/images\/w_300,h_77,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1679436380\/Jewishaction\/oupress-pull2\/oupress-pull2.png?_i=AA\" alt=\"oupress pull2\" data-crop=\"3.9\" data-format=\"png\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1679436380\" data-seo=\"1\" data-responsive=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ouwp\/images\/w_300,h_77,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1679436380\/Jewishaction\/oupress-pull2\/oupress-pull2.png?_i=AA 517w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ouwp\/images\/w_448,h_114,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1679436380\/Jewishaction\/oupress-pull2\/oupress-pull2.png?_i=AA 448w, https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ouwp\/images\/w_248,h_63,c_scale\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1679436380\/Jewishaction\/oupress-pull2\/oupress-pull2.png?_i=AA 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 517px) 100vw, 517px\" \/><\/a>The book, written in an accessible style, simplifies what would otherwise remain abstruse concepts for the reader.
