Coming Soon | The Essential Ramban on Torah

“Ramban’s commentary is widely available, yet few actually learn it, including scholars. In truth, this work remains the foundation of faith, the root of all religion.”

Rav Moshe Sofer (Chasam Sofer), Teshuvah 61

Ramban al HaTorah has inspired generations, yet its depth and complexity can often feel overwhelming. This work introduces the Ramban’s Torah commentary to a new generation of students—with clear approachable summaries that reveal his logic, breadth, and brilliance—while encouraging deeper engagement with the original classic.  

“Rabbi Menashe Bleiweiss, an experienced and beloved rebbi in Yeshivas Ohr Somayach, has attempted, with great success, to summarize major themes in Ramban’s work. We owe Rabbi Bleiweiss a major debt of gratitude for making Ramban’s work more accessible to the average reader.”

Rav Yitzchak A. Breitowitz, rav of Kehillas Ohr Somayach

“It is no easy task to capture all of this within the scope of one sefer. [Rabbi Bleiweiss] has done a great job of accomplishing this goal.”

Rabbi Nachum Borowski, author of Shalmei Nachum, an exposition on the Ramban’s commentary

Rabbi Menashe Bleiweiss is the founder of Yeshivas Emek Davar (emekdavar.com), a new yeshiva in Ramat Beit Shemesh Daled, where he lives with his wife, children, and grandchildren. For over thirty years, he has taught and inspired students in leading yeshivos, most recently serving as senior rebbi at Derech–Ohr Somayach (2008–2025). He is widely recognized for his dynamic teaching in Talmud, Jewish history, hashkafah, and contemporary issues.

Beyond the classroom, Rabbi Bleiweiss is a licensed tour guide in Israel and Europe, known for bringing the Jewish People’s heritage and history vividly to life at its original sites. He directed Ner LeElef’s Campus Kiruv Program and maintains a private family therapy practice. In addition, he has contributed to Jewish thought and culture through writing, editing, and music. His work includes serving on the domestic violence division at Neve Yerushalayim’s Family Institute, editing the Jewish Spectator quarterly, and producing and performing an album of adapted and arranged Jewish songs (available on major platforms).
