The Weekly Parsha Companion

$19.95

Author : kopress

The Weekly Parsha Companion does for the study of Chumash (the Five Books of Moses) what the acclaimed Nach Yomi Companion did for Neviim and Kesuvim (the books of the Prophets and the Writings). The Weekly Parsha Companion features easy-to-follow synopses of every sedra (weekly Torah portion), organized aliyah by aliyah to facilitate use.

Rabbi Jack Abramowitz, a veteran educator with three decades of experience, has earned a well-deserved reputation for making content accessible enough for newcomers, substantial enough for those with more advanced backgrounds, and engaging for all.

The Weekly Parsha Companion – originally published as The Shnayim Mikra Companion – reviews each Torah portion in depth, but in the modern vernacular (and with pop culture references scattered throughout – see how many you can catch!). The synopses are breezy and lighthearted, while remaining respectful to the source material – the Torah. The commentary summarizes each parsha in its entirety, incorporating the traditional understanding of the verses as presented in the Talmud, Midrash and Rashi – the Bible commentator par excellence! Not only does this enable readers to grasp esoteric concepts like sacrifices and ritual purity with unprecedented ease, it makes our forefathers come alive as relatable people who struggled with issues to which we can relate.

Rabbi Abramowitz’s various works – including The Nach Yomi Companion, The Shnayim Mikra Companion, The Taryag Companion, The God Book, The Tzniyus Book, The Complete Targum Onkelos, and Ask Rabbi Jack – have been applauded by readers from across the spectrum, including rabbis and teachers of all kinds. Use The Weekly Parsha Companion to enhance your understanding of, and appreciation for, each week’s Torah portion. It’s an enlightening experience!

Description

Review the Weekly Parsha with Clarity, Structure, and Humor

The Weekly Parsha Companion brings each weekly Torah portion (parsha) to life. First, it offers clear and concise summaries. Then, it organizes each parsha by aliyah, making it easy to follow. This book is perfect for Shabbat preparation, synagogue learning, or personal study.

Rabbi Jack Abramowitz, a 30-year veteran educator, is known for making Torah accessible. His style is approachable yet respectful. He blends humor, modern language, and deep Torah insight. As a result, beginners feel welcomed, and advanced learners stay engaged.

This book continues the work started in The Nach Yomi Companion. That series made the Prophets and Writings easier to understand. Now, Rabbi Abramowitz does the same for the Chumash (Five Books of Moses).

What’s Inside the The Weekly Parsha Companion:

  • Full summaries of all five books: Bereishis, Shemos, Vayikra, Bamidbar, and Devarim

  • Each sedra (parsha) divided by aliyah for structure and clarity

  • Explanations based on Rashi, Midrash, and Talmud

  • Easy-to-understand language with occasional pop culture references

  • Relatable insights about Biblical characters and their struggles

  • Useful for both daily learning and weekly review

In addition, The Weekly Parsha Companion helps readers connect to the mitzvah of shnayim mikra v’echad Targum. While not a direct translation, it explains the Torah’s meaning in plain English. You’ll find it especially helpful for navigating challenging topics like sacrifices and ritual purity. Rabbi Abramowitz’s engaging tone also adds warmth to each parsha. Even the most technical sections feel alive and relevant.

About the Author:

Rabbi Jack is a long-time contributor to OU Torah, Aish.com, and Jew in the City. His writings reach readers of all backgrounds—rabbis, students, and laypeople alike.
