The Jewish Innovation
Is this what learning Torah is really about? I don’t think so. I feel that learning has more to do with analyzing the texts. Spending the time to think about what the text says. What it means. What its implications are.
My Sefer includes over 700 pages (in Hebrew) of Torah thoughts that arose almost entirely from the questions I had when learning Sefer Beraishis with Rashi. The questions are for the most part the types of questions that everyone should be asking!
I have received warm approbations for the Sefer, and I hope to be able to publish it so that it can be made available to the Torah-learning public.
The Impact
I hope that educators will learn this Sefer and realize that their students should be asking the same questions that are found in the Sefer. If not, teachers should gently bring their students to ask those questions which are most relevant to the students, depending on their age and background.
What Will You Do with the Money?
Approximately $6600 is needed for printing 500 copies of the Sefer. (If the response to this campaign is phenomenal, I will print 1,000 copies instead. This will cost approximately $10,000.)
The cost of typing and editing the pages I have already written will certainly be more than $1,400, but I hope to cover the costs of preparation of the next volume in the series (Sefer Shemos) with the money that comes in from selling this Sefer.
