We have known Rabbi Schwartz on and off for over 30 years. He has been a Rabbi to parts of our family and we are well acquainted with his scholarship. He distinguishes himself here with a comprehensive view that a family can use to truly understand what the Torah reportion of the week and it’s af Hafara are all about.
