 New Studies in the
Torah by Nehama Leibowitz Zt"l
A phenomenon in the world of Torah study and
education,
Nehama (that is the unassuming way in which she even answered
her phone) was a Russian born graduate of the University of
Berlin who immigrated to Israel in 1931, became the instructor
of three generations of teachers and acquired an extensive and
profound influence on Torah pedagogy worldwide—no mean feat
for anyone.
Between 1954 and 1961
(5714-5721) she published "Studies in Parashat HaShavua".
Subsequently these were printed in book format, arranged
according to the five books of the Pentateuch. These
volumes of the "Studies" were translated into English,
French, Spanish, and Dutch, and are used as a primary
resource in disseminating Torah. In addition, Nehama
Leibowitz published numerous articles on Bible research
and instruction.
Nehama Leibowitz, died in Jerusalem on Shabbat,
5 Nisan, 5757 (April 12, 1997) at the age of 92.
