Darkah Shel Torah, also known as
Kadmas Ha'amek, was originally published as a preface to the
Netziv's magnum opus, Ha'amek Sh'alah. This work, consisting of
three sections, strives to demonstrate how the true path of Torah
becomes realized through the proper application of analysis and the
development of the proper character and attitude for discovering
God's truth. With such an approach, the Jew becomes closest to God
through the study of Torah, as both the Jewish Nation and the Torah
emanate from the same Divine source.
