The Torah Temimah (תורה תמימה - from
Psalms
19:8 תּוֹרַת ה תְּמִימָה "The Torah of Hashem is perfect.") is the magnum opus of Rabbi
Baruch Epstein. Published in 1902, it is a
commentary on the
Torah and the
Five Megillot, the object of which was "to show the interrelationship between the
Oral and
Written Law."
[1] In so doing, Rabbi Epstein "weaves together related
halachos and
Aggadah together with concise explanations of the text."
[2] Rabbi Epstein's method was "to quote comments and interpretations from the vast Rabbinical literature on each Biblical verse (
Bavli,
Yerushalmi,
Sifra,
Sifre,
Tosefta and
Mechilta) and to then provide his own analysis of how the interpretations were deduced,"
[1] frequently offering a novel explanation on the statement. Despite its scholarly nature, the "clear and lucid style of this work makes learning enjoyable and accessible to all."
