Jewish Ignorance Of The Bible

I was surprised when I entered Jewish life how ignorant Jews were of the Bible (outside of the Torah). The people of the book don’t know this book.

In his first lecture for Torah in Motion on Rabbi Moses Kunitz, professor Marc B. Shapiro says: “It is hard today, certainly in the Ashkenazi world, to find a Torah scholar who’s studied the book of Daniel or Job or Malachi. Rashi says one needs to study these.”

I've written five books (see Amazon.com). My work has been covered in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and on 60 Minutes. I teach Alexander Technique in Beverly Hills (Alexander90210.com).
