Cardozo on the Parashah. Volume 2 - Shemot/Exodus: Essays on the Weekly Torah Portion
The art of biblical interpretation is more than just knowing how to understand the deeper meaning of the words and expressions.It is impossible to treat the biblical text as one would any other classical work, because the people of Israel, according to Jewish tradition, are not the authors of this text; the text is the author of the people.

It means standing in front of a mirror and asking yourself the daunting question of who you really are.This collection of essays by a rabbi known internationally as "one of the most thoughtful voices in contemporary Judaism" looks at the weekly Torah portion through the eyes of philosophy, contemporary controversies, and personal struggles.

Nine Tenths of the Law
Two sisters, their mother, and a Nazi thief. In 1939, a beautiful enameled heirloom menorah was looted by the Nazis, grabbed from the hands of its young Jewish owner. Too beautiful to kill, Aurora herself was singled out by the SS for “special duties”. Eighty years later, Aurora’s daughters Zara and Lilly discover the family menorah in a New York museum. Haunted by their mother’s buried memories, the sisters scheme to get it back—but their quest takes a dangerous turn when the menorah disappears, leaving a trail of murder and mayhem behind it. Aurora’s memories, it turns out, are very much alive; and now her secrets can bind the sisters together or tear them apart.
