Earlier this summer, the Community Kollel of Kansas City published “Pearls of The Parsha,” edited by Rabbi Shaya Katz.
Kollel Board President Jerry Bernard described the book as “a collection of some of the things that Rabbi Katz taught or wrote about during his three years with the Kollel of Kansas City.” Rabbi Katz left the community in June to become a pulpit rabbi in Oak Park, Michigan.
“It’s easy, digestible, one- or two-page reads for each parsha,” Bernard explained. “It gives some thought-provoking questions and ideas, and it’s designed for anyone who has an interest in anything Jewish, such as Jewish philosophy and Jewish custom. It’s not a book that scholars will study in a yeshiva.”
He added the book “was sponsored in large part by people who have benefitted from and who are fans of the Kollel. It turned out really well.”
The book is available for purchase on Amazon. All proceeds from book sales go to the Kollel, a nonprofit supported by donations and grants.
