For more than a decade, four intellectually curious men have met every Wednesday morning over bagels and coffee with Rabbi Lewis Warshauer, a scholar and an expert on the Talmud, Hebrew Bible and ancient and modern writings concerning all aspects of Jewish life and history. With a kind heart and an open mind, he shares his knowledge with this group of friends, who work their way through it by asking questions, fueling debate, and asking more questions. A lively tradition that perpetually provides insight, they all wholeheartedly agree it has been a life-enhancing experience, deepening their understanding of Judaism and its long history’s impact on their lives. Through selected excerpts of the Rabbi’s teachings, this book is both a tribute to him and his eager students. It is a symbolic memory for friends, family and their eventual heirs to cherish long after Wednesday mornings are quieter. Perhaps for the casual reader, as well, who might one day seek to understand why these five men continued to enthusiastically meet for so many years to learn about their connection to an ancient tribe that has stubbornly survived for millenniums. Regardless, readers are sure to walk away with something valuable.
