Rabbi Samson Hirschs brilliant exploration of the philosophy underlying the details of practical religious observances. Horeb succeeds in capturing the unifying ideological threads that weave in and out of the 613 commandments of the Bible and constitute the fabric of the Jewish way of life. It is an excellent book both for beginning and advanced students seeking to understand the deeper meaning behind Jewish law and is beautifully translated by the distinguished rabbi and Hirschian scholar, Dayan Dr. I. Grunfeld.
