Rabbi Worch then turns to what 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 marriage arrangements as laid out in the Talmud, Rabbi Worch presents Peah as a paradigm of how community relations and attitudes need to develop in order to have a holy society that affords dignity to all its members. Way beyond a mere translator, Rabbi Worch places the material in context with Halachic directives in Tzedakah from the Rambam, evocative statements of the saintly Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev and a few witty classic Jewish epigrams.
