Pirkei de Rabbi Eliezer
Starting with the new cycle of Torah readings in 5784 (beginning in October 2023), the Saturday morning Torah study will be using Pirkei de Rabbi Eliezer, a book that (loosely) follows the Torah. It is jam packed with rabbinic interpretations, folklore, medieval philosophy, and even a dash of mysticism in all its takes on the Torah.
Sadly, the book is out-of-print, so we can’t get a bunch of copies. If you are planning on coming to Saturday mornings, however, there are numerous ways for you to access this boo – many of them free! You should be able to buy a used hard copy of a more recent translation as well. Here are the links to various forms should you want to have them on one of your devices:
