This article explores the subject, focusing on one title only, Keter Shem Tov. That book-name is taken from a…

 Towards a Bibliography About Realia and Chumash, specifically relating to the Mishkan and Bigdei Kehunah  By Eliezer Brodt Learning Chumash and Nach is extremely important for many reasons. Over time it became a neglected subject (why is the subject of a different post IY”H) and in many circles is still true today. Sadly, many people remain with the images of the various stories from Tanach the way they heard it in their youth without a genuine understanding of the events….
