About Rabbi Gad Dishi

Rabbi Gad Dishi, Adv., Esq. is the author of Jacob’s Family Dynamics – Climbing the Rungs of the Ladder – a literary and psychological commentary to Genesis 25-36. His Rabbinical Ordination from Yeshiva University, Teacher’s Degree and Associate of Arts in Talmud provide him with proficiency and familiarity of classical and modern commentators. His years of education at NYU Law School and his legal experience at the Israeli Ministry of Justice and the Israeli Supreme Court, heightened his sensitivity to word choice and close readings. His active legal practice in Israel further confirms that similar to reading a contract, a cursory read of any Biblical sentence can result in glossing over its significance.
