The Midrash Says on the Weekly Haftaros Volume One / Bereishis by Rabbi Moshe Weissman (Author)

This series is an original and unique attempt at familiarizing the English-speaking Jewish public with the meaning of the Haftaros. The verses from the prophets are not literally translated. Rather, they were adapted according to the rendition of the classical commentators, so as to be meaningful to the reader. Midrashim and stories serve to highlight the ideas expressed in the verses. The text is perfectly lucid even for those not familiar with Hebrew. It is hoped that the reader will gain an appreciation of the beauty and profundity of the Haftaros, and that educators as well as laymen will be motivated to delve further into this hitherto neglected subject so that it will become familar to all. This volume covers the Book of Beraishis. Contains the Haftaros for Ashkenazim and Sephardim.
