“Continuity is a societal and individual's experience that represents an important element of stability in our spiritual lives. Rabbi Dr. Israel Drazin, in his work “Unusual Bible Interpretations: Joshua" in his first chapter, "Did Joshua Lack Experience for His New Job?" reflects upon asks the following questions: 1. Who was Joshua? 2. When Did Joshua's Conquest Of Canaan Occur? 3. Study Day and Night? Within these three sections, Rabbi Drazin seeks to answer and explore a host of rather curious questions, scriptural oddities, and other curious observations.” - Alan Jay Gerber , The Jewish Star: The Kosher Bookworm Sept 2015
