Yeshiva Fundamentalism: Piety, Gender, and Resistance in the Ultra-Orthodox World Book

The Way Into Torah is a quick, concise introduction to Torah study. It is geared primarily toward readers who are not yet engaged in a regular routine of Torah study. It provides some basic information on PaRDes (the four approaches to discovering meaning in Torah) and a description of Torah in its broadest sense (including not only the text of the Torah and Chumash, but also the whole Tanakh, as well as the Mishnah, Talmud, Midrash, and associated commentary). The scope of the book allows only for a superficial glance at the landscape of the written and oral Torah, but it is an enticing glance that will hopefully lead some readers to begin a more in-depth program of Torah study. I would heartily recommend this book to anyone who has yet to make Torah study a regular part of their routine.
