Conversations on the Torah

Timeless Torah Truths as Taught
By a Leader of Soviet Immigrant Jewry

For decades, in Israel and abroad, the study halls and auditoriums would fill.
Rabbi Yitzchak Zilber - a Torah scholar, Soviet-trained mathematician and
scientist, and a critical thinker of the highest caliber - would hold audiences
in rapt attention as he communicated the truth of the Torah with passion and
precision.

Rabbi Zilber skillfully spoke to the analytical mind through his balanced
reconciliation of Torah and modern science. Through the years, he won the
hearts of multitudes to Jewish living and learning. His approach was compelling,
yet conversational; his delivery was panoramic yet personal. With long-time and
first-time listeners alike addressed as close friends, he became a father in the faith
to thousands of Jews from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) of all persuasions.

In "Conversations on the Torah," LaMaalot USA invites you to take your seat in
the front row. Savor the sagacity of this remarkable Torah leader as Rabbi Yitzchak
Zilber converses with you, revealing the infinitude of each Parashah as you never
knew it. We are honored and humbled to bring his light to a new generation of
English speakers around the world.

About the Author
Born in Kazan, Russia in 1917, Rabbi Yitzchak Zilber, ZT"L was raised
by Torah-observant parents to keep the faith and defy state atheism
through discrimination, persecution and Gulag alike. From his 1972 Aliyah
on, Rabbi Zilber made Jewish literacy among fellow Soviet Jewish émigrés
his life's new passion. His championship of Torah and mitzvos became
Toldot Yeshurun, among Israel's leading outreach forces for Soviet Jews,
returning thousands to the fold. His passing in 2004 was mourned around
the world.
