To Know Torah by Dr Ephraim Chamiel #BookReview #BookChatter #Books

To Know Torah - The Book of Genesis by Dr. Ephraim Chamiel is an altogether different read. There are different philosophies about the combination of male and female. One aspect says the female is an integral part of male forming a divine image with absolute equality. Then they call the two of them together as Adam. Another aspect represents female as inferior because she is produced from the side (tzela) of the male. In this case, male alone is called Adam. According to this aspect, since male and female are two separate entities, a man marries a woman. That is a way of getting back his tzela (side) back.

After marriage, there is a complete transformation that takes place creating psychological and emotional completeness of the male and female. That is one example of the research work you will find in this book. There is so many similar kinds of interpretations and research work.

To Know Torah - The Book of Genesis by Dr. Ephraim Chamiel talks about the seventy facets of the Torah. The author acknowledges that he is not a Bible scholar. His field of expertise, in fact, is Jewish thoughts. That is why he doesn't call this book a product of academic research. But rather, he calls it one of personal expression. An expression that craves to explore the practical meaning of the texts from the point of view of a modern-day scholar who carries a trust in the sanctity of the Torah and at the same time is an observant Jew. Whether Adam is a romantic entity who is passive and obedient. Or he is a rationalist personality who is assertive and active. One who liked to revel against every limitation and be a conqueror against any consequence. There are so many contradictory narrations about the creation of Adam.

Whether Adam was the last creation of his master or Creator. Or he was the first of the creation. To Know Torah - The Book of Genesis by Dr. Ephraim Chamiel brings so many interesting aspects on board to engage its reader on entirely a different level of analysis and discussion.
