Ebook
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Overview
As with both its predecessors, this book of life lessons derived from the Bible is meant for elementary school students and their parents. One arguably simplistic approach to looking at Numbers is to see it as a story of a sinful people and a wrathful God. However, the stories in Numbers are rarely black and white. This book strives to examine Numbers in more nuanced depth, while keeping the life lessons simple and easy to understand. By doing so, this book can serve as a valuable guide to parents and students alike as they learn the text of Numbers and gain new insights into it.
In A Curious Student’s Guide to the Book of Numbers, Reuven Travis digs deep into the traditional parshiot and approaches them using both traditional concepts and a contemporary lens. His insights and perspectives make it uniquely appealing and will help young readers apply the Torah’s rich lessons to their everyday lives.

Reuven Travis writes with authority and clarity as he invites the reader to find meaning in the book of Numbers. The messages he delivers are attuned to the sensitivities and social-emotional concerns of children and adults. What a gift of wisdom and nuance for readers of all ages!
