Chumash Torah Temimah- R' Baruch HaLevi Epstein (Chad ve'Chalak Ed./5 vol.)

In 1902, Rabbi Baruch HaLevi Epstein (1860-1941) published his Torah Temima, which became one of the most popular books of the century. Baruch’s father, Rabbi Yechiel Michel, was the rabbi of Novorodak and author of the classic Aruch HaShulchan, and his uncle was the illustrious Rabbi Naftali Tzvi Yehuda Berlin, Rosh Yeshiva of the famed Volozhin Yeshiva.

The object of the Torah Temima is to show the interrelationship between the Oral and Written Law. His method is to quote comments and interpretations from the vast Rabbinical literature on each Biblical verse and then to provide his own analysis of how the interpretations were deduced. His comments are stimulating and absorbing.
