It Takes Two to Torah: An Orthodox Rabbi and Reform Journalist Discuss and Debate Their Way Through the Five Books of Moses

It Takes Two to Torah is not just an education, it is an invitation–to join the oldest book club in the world.

Over a two-year period, Linzer and Pogrebin talked their way through the Five Books of Moses with candor, humor, emotion, personal revelation, and scholarship. These lively exchanges were part of a series of podcasts for Tablet Magazine and are now available in this collection.

This unlikely pairing–Abigail Pogrebin, journalist and author, and Rabbi Dov Linzer, President and Rosh HaYeshiva (Rabbinic Head) of the Modern Orthodox Yeshivat Chovevei Torah Rabbinical Seminary — share what they learned about Torah and working together.

In a world often divided by differences, what sets this book apart is the respectful exploration of the Torah. The contrasting viewpoints provide a captivating dynamic, encouraging readers to think critically and question their own beliefs.” Aleeza Ben Shalom, matchmaker, author, and star of “Jewish Matchmaking” as seen on Netflix.
