The weekly sermons delivered by Rabbi Norman Lamm while Rabbi of The Jewish Center in New York City are legendary for their profound intellectual substance and soaring eloquence. Dynamic and charismatic, Rabbi Lamm, through his spellbinding sermons, guided his congregants in confronting the corrosive influence of contemporary secular culture and choosing instead steadfast loyalty to Orthodox tradition. Rabbi Lamm's words and thoughts are as relevant today, to twenty-first century Jewish life, as they were when originally expressed decades ago.

A recurring theme that runs through many of Rabbi Lamm's messages is the love of Torah and the concept that the study of Torah is not merely an intellectual exercise but that which imbues our lives with meaning and value. In Torah Beloved, a group of Rabbi Lamm's sermons has been assembled which celebrate the holiday of Shavuot, the holiday of the giving of the Torah, and which express the love of Torah. With this collection of sermonic gems, together with two essays by Rabbi Lamm which delve in greater detail into the appreciation of Torah and Torah study, the idea of the love of Torah takes on a new and deeper meaning.
