Rabbi Worch then turns towhat appears to be a pedestrian passage about agricultural laws in Parshas Kedoshim.With the Alshich's careful attention to stylistic changes in the Biblical verses,coupled with cogent referencing of the contractual details of marriagearrangements as laid out in the Talmud, RabbiWorch presents Peah as a paradigm of how community relations and attitudes needto develop in order to have a holy society that affords dignity to all itsmembers. Way beyond a mere translator,Rabbi Worch places the material in context with Halachic directives in Tzedakahfrom the Rambam, evocative statements of the saintly Levi Yitzchak ofBerditchev and a few witty classic Jewish epigrams.
