Derashot Ledorot: Genesis: A Commentary for the Ages

by Norman Lamm

Derashot Ledorot: Genesis, A Commentary for the Ages is a selection of essays on the book of Genesis based on sermons given by Rabbi Norman Lamm during the years 1952 and 1976, while he served as a synagogue rabbi. These essays, culled from the files of the Lamm Archives of Yeshiva University, feature reflections on the weekly parasha, brilliantly illustrating Rabbi Lamm's masterful pedagogy, deep intellectual rigor, and staunch commitment to the word of God. Today, almost half a century later, these essays remain as relevant and inspiring as ever. With foreword written by Meir Y. Soloveichik.

Very demanding.

Persistence and re-reading necessary for me at least. Bought all five so hope to complete this year. Doing OK so far.
