The Soul of the Text: An Anthology of Jewish Literature

This anthology of Jewish literature unites one of the world's richest and most enduring literary traditions with Shared Inquiry, the method promoted by the Great Books Foundation for discussing outstanding works of literature. Published in partnership with the AVI CHAI Foundation, this volume includes excerpts from the Bible, medieval biblical commentaries, and other writings concerning the Holocaust and the founding of the State of Israel. Each selection is followed by interpretive questions for discussion, which will deepen your engagement with these texts and foster the exchange of ideas among participants in your group.
