Known as Sefer Devarim (“Book of Words”) as well as Mishneh Torah (“Torah Repetition”) and Deuteronomy, the fifth and final book of the bestselling Torah series is the perfect summer read for the serious student of Judaism looking for a healthy dose of spiritual guidance and historical perspective.
Narrated largely in first-person by Moshe, it provides readers with an up-close view of the past 40 years of Jewish history and introduces them to numerous new Mitzvos. The text is an eclectic mix, which also includes a poetic song, titled Shiras Ha’azinu, written in a unique style not seen anywhere else in the previous four books.
Like its predecessors, this book is best enjoyed in smaller units, each one called a Parsha, allowing the reader to savor each section and explore its deep symbolism. “The book of Devarim is bound to become a timeless classic,” predicted TNS book critic, Kaily Kritikovsky.
