Description
The Five Megillot – the Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, and Esther – are
among the most familiar of biblical texts. Yet in the hands of veteran educator and Bible scholar
Gabriel H. Cohn, a leading disciple of Nehama Leibowitz, the megillot reveal untold depths.
Utilizing classical commentary and modern scholarship to explore literary, philosophical, and
educational aspects of the megillot, he uncovers multiple dimensions of meaning, while always
maintaining sight of the peshat, the plain sense of the text.
Upon its publication in Hebrew, Textual Tapestries was recognized as an instant classic. Dr. Cohn
now invites readers of English to participate in the continuing dialogue between the Jewish
people and their sacred books, and to join him on a journey to discover these books’ religious
meaning for the individual and the community.
