For the first time, readers can take a tour of the entire Torah through the medium of a single instructive, irreverent, involving conversation. Over a two-year period, an Orthodox rabbi and Reform journalist talked through the Five Books of Moses with candor, humor, emotion, personal revelation, and scholarship.
Pogrebin and Linzer engaged in these short dialogues — ten minutes per parsha — on a podcast for Tablet Magazine, and these lively exchanges have now been collected and edited by Fig Tree Books. Dov is a renowned expert in Torah, whose values run egalitarian, but who has clear parameters about what is correct and comfortable when it comes to Jewish law. Abby is the relatable every Jew in America — immersed in Jewish life, but less through observance and prayer; more through study, reporting, synagogue, and community.
This book is for anyone looking to access and absorb the entire Torah in bite-size, relatable nuggets. It Takes Two to Torah is not just an education, it is an invitation — to join the oldest book club in the world.
