How can we best live until we die? How do Jewish traditions and teachings inform our best lives? Midrash Hazak  is a collection of insightful commentaries on the weekly and holiday Torah portions written by individuals at, or approaching, the biblical span of three-score-and-ten. Our contributors are rabbis, cantors, social workers, doctors, educators, and educated laypeople who span the breadth and diversity of Jewish thought, observance, and practice. All have thought deeply about their respective Torah portions and what they have to say with respect to their personal journeys, and to aging in general.
