Back to the Beginning

Many of you remember, that when this blog began, our first content was a series of suggested reading lists (see bottom half) by many of our faculty members. For the newcomers, or those who could use chazara, I highly advise checking out those earlier posts, there's a lot of great stuff there. I was reminded of them because on my second favorite blog, Rabbi Gil Student (an old shiur-mate of mine) just ran his list of suggested outreach books. While outreach is somewhat different than general religious inspiration, there is plenty of overlap, and many high school students share the same questions that potential baalei teshuva do. And really, all of us can stand to be "reached" every now and then. Some of the books are targeted at an adult audience, and might be difficult, there are some great books here that many of you will enjoy. Please feel free to approach any of your teachers for suggestions. Happy reading.
