In today’s world, the Torah (Pentateuch) is a method that is yet to be recognized for what it truly is. In these pages you will find the stories of the Torah as they unfold through the weekly portions (Parashot). Dr. Laitman’s unique interpretation of the stories relies on the truths revealed in The Book of Zohar, which holds the secrets of the Torah. These secrets reveal a deep and very personal level of the stories, providing us with new tools to understand our own lives and the lives of those we love.

Here, for the first time, the stories of the Torah are interpreted as every person’s private spiritual work. Within these pages you will find that the Torah is more than the saga of the Israeli nation. It is the inner tale of you and me, of all of us, and all of humanity. It is here that the connections among us as individuals and as a society can most clearly be seen.

Dr. Laitman’s innovative interpretation relies on the authentic sources of Kabbalah and reveals new senses within us that help us connect to one another, understand one another, and truly implement the Torah’s fundamental law: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” In so doing, the book is a tool that can help us establish more positive, stronger relationships between us based on mutual concern and a lack of malice.

The Torah offers us a profound spiritual message, revealing how we can develop our souls and achieve the purpose of Creation. The “wisdom of truth,” known as the “wisdom of the hidden,” or the “wisdom of Kabbalah,” holds within it all the secrets of the world. As such, the stories in the Torah offer us rich new levels of understanding.

Through them, we see the gradual process of our personal inner development alongside the collective process of growth known as Tikkun Olam (correction of the world). Today, Tikkun Olam is precisely what we need as we face multiple crises on personal, societal, and globalkorah levels.

Indeed, these crises are a result of man’s departure from Nature’s laws, while the Torah presents a complete, precise plan that shows us how we can adjust ourselves to these laws and prevent or relieve crises. As a global society, we must unite as one, with one heart, or even as one family, and thus make ourselves compatible with the laws of Nature. This message in the Torah is what makes it so important to all of us in these trying times.
