Israel Drazin invites readers into a thoughtful, eye-opening exploration of the Torah’s most puzzling passages in What We Don’t Know About God and People in the Bible: Over 400 Examples — Deuteronomy.

Written with clarity and depth, this volume gently guides you through hundreds of obscure or easily overlooked verses, encouraging you to pause, question, and engage with the text the way generations of Jewish thinkers have always done before us.

Drazin draws from classical philosophy, rabbinic conversation, and modern commentary to illuminate the layers within Deuteronomy and other books of the Torah. Each section helps readers notice details that often hide in plain sight — shifts in wording, unusual phrasing, and narrative gaps that invite curiosity and reflection. Rather than offering rigid conclusions, the author opens the door to interpretation, encouraging a deeper personal encounter with the biblical world.

This is an enriching companion for anyone who loves study, insight, and the quiet satisfaction of discovering something new each time they return to familiar chapters. Beautifully bound and published by Gefen Publishing House, it’s a substantial, thoughtful gift for students of Torah, lovers of Jewish scholarship, and anyone with a desire to learn while deepening their connection to the Holy Land.
