lecturers' biographies and abstracts Fifth Miami International Conference on Torah and Science, December 2003
Feedback: "The B'Or Ha'Torah journal makes a valuable contribution by publishing a variety of articles on the relationship between Torah and science. The special quality of these articles is their significant attempt to discuss scientific subjects from the Torah point of view. The importance of B'Or Ha'Torah is its departure from apologetics. Instead, it delves into the sparsely investigated field of how to add the spiritual dimension of the Torah to the dimensions of time and space of scientific research. In doing this, a double illumination is created: not only does science receive the brilliance of the Torah, but the light that reflects back from the illuminated scientific knowledge reveals an additional facet and more complete understanding of the Torah text." Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz "Congratulations on such a high quality publication" Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi, United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth

"… we are all
coming from diverse professional, business, and rabbinic backgrounds interspersed with
observant, nonaffiliated, hedonistic, cultist, and missionary experiences—your
magazine’s style relates eminently well to all of us. Amazing, but true!" Rabbi Casriel Brusowankin, Miami
"A Roman Catholic interested in the relation between science and the Bible, I have been enjoying my copies of B’OR HA’TORAH." Michael R. Hoyt, Silver Spring, Maryland
"Your articles are not merely enlightening but inspiring. They go a long way towards satisfying both an intellectual and spiritual hunger." Dr. Ben Ostrov, Chinese University of Hong Kong
"I often study B’OR HA’TORAH with my father Erev Shabbos. We enjoy this book a lot and have spent many hours on one question, and still have not reached a conclusion. ‘If no one is looking at the moon, does it exist?‘" From Joshua Elberg’s bar mitsva speech in Dollard Des Ormeaux, Quebec
