A great idea for a Bar Mitzvah present, the Torah Temimah links commentary expounded in the Gemara back to their its source, the Chumash, the written Torah. A Bar Mitzvah boy will cherish this resource as he begins to acquire the skills to navigate the intricate sea of the Talmud.
The Essential Torah Temimah is a work by Rav Baruch Halevi Epstein, z”l and translated to English by the late Rav Shraga Silverstein, z”l.
