The Weekly Mitzva

Rabbi Binyamin Tabory

Rabbi Binyamin Tabory’s many students know him as a master educator who makes the highest level of classical yeshiva learning accessible with his pedagogic skill and warm personality. In The Weekly Mitzva, Rabbi Tabory discusses a mitzva – sometimes familiar, sometimes obscure – connected to each week’s parasha. His unique approach combines Brisker-style abstract analysis with the illustrative case law characteristic of the Aĥaronim. For each topic, Rabbi Tabory quickly arrives at the fundamental ĥakira – the logical point upon which the discussion hinges, and applies that insight to various practical questions.

 

For decades, Rabbi Tabory taught students across four continents. Now, The Weekly Mitzva enables readers to bring Rabbi Tabory’s special brand of Torah to their own Shabbat table discussions.
