The leaves of this book are gleaned from the garden of Torah study, tended with loving care by the members of the Egalitarian Minyan of Rogers Park, in Chicago, Illinois. Come in, and you will find an anthology of divrei Torah delivered by various members of the Minyan over the past several years. The members come to the Torah from a wide variety of backgrounds, and their divrei Torah yield a broad range of insights, some scholarly, some strikingly original, some challenging, but all heartfelt. To read this book is to witness once again how our ancient Torah is eternally new as each member wrestles with its profound and sometimes difficult message.
(Proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the tzedaka fund of the Egalitarian Minyan.)
