A Dash of Drash
In this, her second volume of weekly Torah studies, titled A Dash of Drash, the ever resourceful Keren Hannah Pryor gives readers a glimpse into the fascinating world of Midrash. Skillfully blending together her own keen sensitivities to Scripture with the added spice of midrashic interpretation, the author produces an array of tasty and inspiring insights into the feast that is the Word of God. "To taste" in Scripture often is an idiom meaning "to experience." "O taste and see that the LORD is good!" (Psalm 34:8). Dear reader, I heartily recommend that you taste A Dash of Drash. The experience will be spiritually edifying and altogether delightful. -Dr. Dwight A. Pryor, President, Center for Judaic-Christian Studies

I had already used this book before to help me get through the first five books of the Bible, which most tend to find dry and challenging. In this book, Pryor shares with us the insights of rabbis as well as her own to help us that don't have a Jewish background better understand what's going on in these books. I do find it a challenge to connect with her writings, though, because she touches on topics that I don't find relevant to my reading for that day. I much prefer her first book in this series titled A Taste of Torah. That book does more to open our understanding of what is happening in Genesis-Deuteronomy by explaining symbols and traditions. I'd recommend A Taste of Torah more than this one, but if it's all you have, it helps to get through the challenge!
