much of my work in recent years has been exploring the Hebrew Bible’s hidden meaning, in part to counterbalance the excesses committed by a seemingly growing number of fundamentalist Bible thumpers of all denominations who insist that their narrow and very literal interpretation of the biblical narrative (and the world) is the only valid view. Judaism has always encouraged Jews— particularly those of the male persuasion— to engage with its sacred texts and give them new meaning in every generation.
