A Difficult Beginning: A Post October 7 Commentary on the Book of Genesis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798335384018)

The deadly and traumatizing attacks on October 7 coincided with Simchat Torah in Israel, the very day the Torah reading cycle concludes and immediately restarts. Reading the parashah (the weekly Torah portion) and connecting lessons from the parashah to contemporary experiences have long been hallmarks of traditional Jewish practice. When synagogues gathered the Shabbat following October 7 to read Parashat Bereshit, rabbis, educators, and lay leaders alike began weaving together the unprecedented trauma and the eternal strength of Torah. A Difficult Beginning, edited by Daphne Lazar Price and Rabbi Menachem Creditor, is the first Post October 7 volume of Torah commentary, bearing spiritual testimony to a deeply difficult time in Jewish history.
