Horeb - A Philosophy of Jewish Laws and Observances

Comprehensive guide to Jewish law and observance by Rabbi Shimshon (Samson) Raphael Hirsch (1808-1888). Horeb is not only a superbly intelligent compendium of the details of practical religious observance, but a brilliant exploration of the underlying philosophy. Captures the unifying ideological threads of the 613 Biblical commandments.

Translated by Dayan Dr. I. Grunfeld

Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch was the father of modern German Orthodoxy, he was a fiery leader, brilliant writer, and profound educator.
His greatness as a Talmudic scholar was obscured by his other monumental accomplishments.
After becoming chief rabbi and Member of Parliament in Bohemia and Moravia, he left to revitalize Torah Judaism in Frankfort-am-Main, which he transformed into a Torah bastion.
