Belief in prophecy - the claim that God decided to reveal himself to his chosen ones and convey to them, and through them to man in general and the people of Israel in particular, his will in every matter and matter - is the most important theological characteristic of the Bible. This claim is not only fundamental to the biblical prophetic literature but also stands as the center of the Torah, and without it the story, the law, the historiography and even the psalm literature cannot be properly understood. However, the prophecy was not an abstract idea but a living faith, whose themes and expressions in Israeli society were the prophets. The book investigates the phenomenon of prophecy from a phenomenological-historical point of view in an attempt to understand who the classic Israeli prophet was: what were his experiences and what was his public mission. This study is a continuation of the author's previous book Early Prophecy in Israel , and it points to the turn that took place in the prophetic activity after the time of Elijah and Elisha: turning their backs on militancy, non-involvement in the affairs of the state and copying the activity to the masses of the people from an educational trend guided by a moral social vision. Using the philological-historical method, the book examines parables centered on the prophetic phenomenon or the mission that the prophets undertook as advocates of their people before God.

Rashi was a biblical commentator and this book examines his interpretations while considering the considerations, trends and decisions behind them. The underlying question of the book is whether in Rashi's interpretive work there is a distinction between peshat and derash, as two distinct interpretive categories. The discussion is based on a careful examination of Rashi's interpretative terms and on the study of a large selection of his commentaries on the Bible.

The commentary on Qohelet is one of the few surviving remains of the commentary work written by Rabbi Shmuel Ben Meir (Rashbam), Rashi’s grandson and one of the leading French thinkers and commentators of the Middle Ages. This new edition seeks to reveal Rashbam’s unique contribution not only to the understanding of Qohelet, but also to the study of the bible. The authors attempt to re kindle among readers a new interest in the world of medieval biblical commentary and its significance in this day and age.

Prayer has been a component of humanity since time immemorial. This revolutionary study explores Jewish prayer; not its textual layer but rather its non-verbal expressions – physical gestures, dress, and voice. These elements create a rich, intricate language, which is the focal point of this vivid scholarly discussion.
