When Moshe Rabbeinu is asked by Hashem to confront Pharaoh and redeem Am Yisrael, he demurs because of his inability to speak clearly:"I am not a man of words..." Yet, forty years later, he delivers one of the greatest speeches ever given:"And these are the words that Moshe spoke to all of Israel, on the other side of the Jordan." The midrash attributes the dramatic change in Moshe to the healing effects of the Torah's language:'see how beloved the language of Torah is, as it cures the tongue. Until he was privileged to receive the Torah, it is written about Moshe that"I am not a man of words, " but once he was privileged to receive the Torah, his tongue was cured and he began speaking words.' What emerges from this midrash is that the Torah doesn't simply tell us what to do, but provides us with a language with which to make sense of the world and communicate that understanding to others. The Torah's words - the text itself - is meant to give us a vocabulary and categories of thought with which to navigate life's challenges. This book is a result of - and an aid to - our daily encounters with those challenges, and indeed with life itself. A Time to Seek helps us discover the timeless truths of the Torah in clear and contemporary terms, bolstering our confidence and pride in our tradition. Now, more than ever, is A Time to Seek. Approbations: Rabbi Braun's discourses are captivating and illuminating...they enable the reader to ascend the ladder of personal growth to greater heights. - Rabbi Naftali Jaeger, Rosh Yeshiva, Yeshiva Shor Yoshuv The discourses are written in a clear style and thoughtful manner. They constitute insightful essays on classical and timeless issues in halakhic life that also particularly resonate in contemporary circumstances. These presentations are deeply rooted in the classical sources of the gemara, midrash, and parshanut of the rishonim, but are also effectively supplemented by later mekorot...invoked to reinforce important hashkafic conclusions that are particularly relevant in our era. - Rabbi Michael Rosensweig, Rosh Yeshiva, RIETs About the Author Rabbi Baruch Dov Braun is the rabbi of Young Israel of Avenue J in Brooklyn, NY.
