Never before has so comprehensive an overview been so concise.

If you've heard of Nach Yomi, it's almost definitely because of Rabbi Jack Abramowitz. While he didn't create the daily study of a chapter of Nach (the Jewish Bible after the ubiquitous Five Books of Moses), he popularized it from an obscure learning program to a worldwide phenomenon. Rabbi Abramowitz has spearheaded the Orthodox Union's Nach Yomi since its inception in 2007. In addition to delivering a number of the daily lectures, Rabbi Abramowitz authored the acclaimed daily synopses, collectively known as The Nach Yomi Companion. Use this handy volume to familiarize yourself with Jewish scripture, or to explain difficult passages as part of your own deeper study.
