Creating Space Between Peshat and Derash - Hayyim J. Angel

Creating Space Between Peshat & Derash: A Collection of Studies on Tanakh by Hayyim Angel. In this third collection of his essays on Tanakh, Rabbi Hayyim Angel continues to present his learning methodology and in-depth text studies to a wider readership. The collection as a whole invites readers into the learning process, understanding individual passages while utilizing the underlying methodology developed and applied by our classical commentators through the ages. Hayyim Angel has served at Congregation Shearith Israel (the Spanish-Portuguese Synagogue, founded in 1654) of New York since 1995, and was appointed its Rabbi in 2006. He also has taught advanced Bible courses at Yeshiva University since 1996. He has published nearly 70 scholarly articles, primarily in Tanakh. Twenty of those appeared as a collection in 2006, Through an Opaque Lens. Twenty more appeared as a collection in 2009, Revealed Texts, Hidden Meanings: Finding the Religious Significance in Tanakh. He earned his B.A., M.A. in Bible, M.S. in Jewish Education, and Rabbinic Ordination from Yeshiva University in New York.
