Nachum had the pleasure of welcoming Rabbi Menachem Genack, CEO of the Kashrus Division of the Orthodox Union (OU) and  Arnie Lustiger, Editor of the new Chumash Mesorat HaRav to this morning’s JM in the AM for a lengthy discussion about this brilliant work. “Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, the “Rav,” was the towering rabbinic thinker of the twentieth century. In addition to his wellspring of Torah knowledge, the Rav taught, wrote and lectured extensively on Chumash. The Rav, however, never wrote a systematic commentary on Chumash, and, until now, the only way to study the Rav’s interpretation and analysis of Chumash was to search for pertinent material by wading through the Rav’s published writings and hard-to-find audio tapes of his lectures and shiurim. Now, for the first time, the Rav’s teachings on Chumash have been collected into a published commentary on sefer Bereishis.”
