Walking the Exodus

Review by Rabbi Ari Enkin • Torah Book Review 

“A modern-orthodox woman’s journey to re-trace the steps of the Exodus.  Loaded with pictures, personal stories, and sprinkled with divrei Torah. One of the most fascinating and captivating reads I have ever gotten my hands on. Highly Recommended. I hope I find the time to read every page.”

New Book – Walking the Exodus

What the Torah talks about when it talks about food

In ‘From Forbidden Fruit to Milk and Honey,’ Diana Lipton compiles an extensive commentary on the themes of sustenance in the Bible. 

Jessica Steinberg • The Times of Israel

 

The first thing to know about “From Forbidden Fruit to Milk and Honey,” Diana Lipton’s commentary on food in the Torah, is that it isn’t a book about what people ate during biblical times.

In fact, most of the 54 scholars who contributed to this compilation of essays don’t usually write about food. They write about the Bible.

“That’s what made it so different,” said Diana Lipton, the Cambridge-trained scholar who compiled the book of essays (and a Times of Israel blogger). “It’s not what they usually write about, but everyone’s an expert, no matter what they think.”
