"In Unlocking the Torah Text, Goldin provides the reader with a useful aid to understanding the biblical text. Writing in a pleasant, lucid style, he identifies the main questions, and in a modern idiom discusses some of the classic approaches. He carries his learning lightly so as to meet the challenges of the text and stimulate debate of the issues. A highly readable and thoughtful work." -- Aviva Zornberg, author of "Genesis: The Beginning of Desire", winner of the National Jewish Book Award

"Rabbi Shmuel Goldin has rendered an extraordinary service... challenging us with fascinating questions, he presents unique solutions to problems that we might never have noticed but which are critical to our understanding of the text. Sabbath discussions in the pulpit or around the table will be greatly enriched by his analysis." -- Rabbi Haskel Lookstein, spiritual leader of Congregation, Kehilath Jeshurun, New York City

"Unlocking the Torah Text: Shmot is not just another commentary that gives it all on a silver plate. Rabbi Goldin begins each section with challenges that will spark thoughtful conversation, thereby walking in the footsteps of Nehama Leibowitz. He concludes with a series of questions that will be debated each week in our homes and synagogues. Rabbi Goldin brings back a passion and a love in exploring biblical text." -- David Nekrutman, executive director of Ohr Torah Stone's Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding & Cooperation, The Jewish Press, 21 January 2009
