In these short portraits of Biblical characters Rabbi Steinsaltz reveals essential meanings. In this work his account of the Biblical patriarch Isaac ( Yitzhak) made an especially strong impression upon me. Rabbi Steinsaltz shows how this particular patriarch is dominated by a sense of severe restriction and limitation connected with the experience of the Akedah. This work will provide the reader of the Bible new insight into some of its major characters.

I ordered this for my wife to assist her in teaching her sunday school class. She is more than happy with the book and although it was purchased as used, it arrived ahead of schedule and was in practically like new condition.
