A Year of Elevation: The Weekly Torah Readings as a Tangible Guide to Spiritual Advancement Part One - Genesis and Exodus

What if the weekly Torah readings were not only ancient wisdom — but a map for your own spiritual ascent?

In A Year of Elevation: Genesis and Exodus, Rabbi Paul Moses Strasko invites readers into a transformative journey through the first two books of the Torah. Each weekly portion becomes a step upward — a reflection on creation, covenant, freedom, and the search for divine purpose in everyday life.

Blending textual insight with practical meditation, Rabbi Strasko shows how the Torah’s narratives illuminate the ongoing work of the soul. Designed for both personal study and group exploration, each section includes guiding questions that encourage readers to wrestle, reflect, and apply the teachings in tangible ways.

This first volume begins the journey — from the birth of the world to the birth of a people, from the spark of being to the call to become. It is followed by two companion volumes:

• Part Two: Leviticus and Numbers — exploring holiness, discipline, and sacred community.

• Part Three: Deuteronomy and the Festivals — culminating in renewal, remembrance, and purpose.

Whether you are a lifelong student of Torah or simply seeking a deeper connection to spirit, A Year of Elevation offers an accessible, reverent, and profoundly human guide to living the Torah as a path of spiritual advancement.
