Young people like to be included in the struggle for

meaning, for the right questions to ask and the search

for tentative answers. This is the book that has been

missing from the ever-expanding bookshelf of Torah

commentaries a collection of messages on each Torah

portion, aimed specifically for teens. It shows them

how each Torah portion contains worlds of meaning

for them, for what they are going through in their lives,

and how they can shape their Jewish identity as they

enter adulthood.

This groundbreaking spiritual resource is truly

transdenominational including the insights of Jews

who identify as Reform, Conservative, Orthodox,

Reconstructionist, Renewal, post-denominational and

"just Jewish." They are rabbis, cantors, educators, authors

and cultural personalities.
