R. Uri Brilliant’s “Torah Hayyim Sheli” adds novelty to Torah commentary through connecting the ideas in the weekly parasha to episodes in the author’s life. Yitzchak Blau’s “Alt+SHIFT” shows how Brilliant’s stories and the Torah insights prove worthwhile. The tales draw on Brilliant’s own life story and episodes from the lives of others; his analysis of each parasha divides between commentary on the text and a deep analysis of the reasons for commandments.
