Editorial Reviews

(Judges for Our Time)brings immediacy and life to the great characters portrayed Judges

in the Book of Judges.

Rabbi Berel Wein

Rav of Bet Knesset Hanasi, and noted historian and lecturer



The message for our time that flowssonaturally from the author's pen makes Shoftim a guide to current events. Rabbi Pruzansky expresses the prophetic message clearly, emphatically and boldly.

Rabbi Sholom Gold

Jerusalem



Rabbi Pruzansky has shown that the writings of our prophets are not simple books of history meant to teach us events of the past but are voices of prophecy, carrying with them Divine lessons for the future. His penetrating analysis of the period of the Judges and its application to our own day reminds us that our Holy Scriptures are both timeless and timely. This volume is an essential addition to the library of anyone who believes that the messages of yesterday still speak to us and still direct us today.
