Five Books Of Limericks eBook

"Rhonda Rosenheck has done the impossible. By using limericks and embracing their irreverent tone, she has created a biblical commentary that is truly unique. Each chapter of the Torah is distilled into its own limerick, leading the reader to reconsider the meaning of the original text, and opening avenues for interpretation that are both fun and insightful. Rhonda Rosenheck knows the Hebrew Bible, and she knows that it can stand up to the sometimes silly, sometimes snarky, but always insightful scholarship packed into each one of these interpretive jewels."

—-Rabbi Hillel Norry

From chaos began the creation,

Each flora and fauna its station.

The water and sky,

The earth they wind by,

Last Adam, who had to be patient.
