Rabbi Fohrman is the founder and CEO at Aleph Beta Academy. He is author of "The Beast that Crouches at the Door", finalist for the 2007 National Jewish Book Award, and "The Queen You Thought You Knew." Rabbi Fohrman seeks to open layers of meaning of Biblical text and to help the reader develop a relationship with the texts that make us who we are.
