		+	* Your book is very thought-provoking! Sometimes I have to stop after a paragraph just to absorb and understand the info before I continue reading! I am thoroughly enjoying the read...learning a lot. And I love your sense of humor that you occasionally slip in. It's nice to have a chuckle while learning about serious things (Miriam Esther Eyges)

 I think it concerns any Gentile who wants to know what the Torah really has to say. It is important because today that Israel returned to its land, it created a lot of change in world consciousness. Jews are also concerned because this change in our situation from exile to coming back to our land and trying to establish Jewish sovereignty and living here with all the problems that we have with it, also caused a change in the Jewish understanding of what the Torah means for us – which is the question, by the way, which the Pope asked Rabbi Shaar Yishuv HaCohen to answer:
 "What does the Torah mean for the Jews?" (I am telling Gentiles what it means for them).
 The Torah is a project. It is not only a book of do's and don'ts it is also the divine project in History. It is the blueprint of History under divine government.

 Excerpt from an interview of Elisheva on IBA ENGLISH NEWS, Nov. 1st 2008
 Interviewer Aviva Press:
 Who do you hope will read this book?

 ==What they say about this book==
-* Thank you for sharing your manuscript with me. It has great passion and reflects serious research and concern… (''Rabbi Yigal Shafran'')
+* Mrs. Barre is a special person. She is an enthusiast of the Rambam and a student of Rabbi Yossef Kappach. Her understanding is unique and her world view is both nationalistic and universalist. This is what she expressed in this book. One cannot agree with everything she says, but we must value her knowledge and her courage to express her views. Indeed, she feels there is a leardership crisis and this is why she speaks her message like Dvorah the prophetess did in her own times. The topic of this book is worthy of proper attention and careful study. (Rabbi Ratzon Arussi)

+* Thank you for sharing your manuscript with me. It has great passion and reflects serious research and concern. (Rabbi Dr. Yigal Shafran)
-* I am a Christian gentile in Texas. I appreciate your combative passion for the truth. Keep it up. (''From the emails we received'')
+* This book is not only a challenging thesis, it is a also work of art. (Adv. E. F.)
-* Your book is a treasure. Opening it is like being seated at a fine meal where all the dishes are ones never enjoyed, new aromas, new tastes. Each page has to be chewed very carefully, and then again. It will take me quite a while to read it at the pace I enjoy. (''Dr. John Craig'')

-* You did it! I am proud you are my little sister. (''Painter Michael Weston'')
+* I am impressed by your book. Your thoughts and opinions are so well construed. I have never seen a man with a pure heart fail when on a mission to promote G-dly law. Your spirit is what the government needs (my opinion). Well you have boosted my confidence in humanity... I was hoping to find sane people somewhere. Thanks. (Charles Howell)

 Elisheva Barre was born in Jerusalem but she grew up in France where she studied at the University Paris VIII in the wake of the '68 revolution. In France, she worked as translator and interpreter for Unesco and the British Council, had a try in showbiz, and participated in cultural programs sponsored by the French Ministry of Education in high schools – some of which in Louisiana and Martinique. In 1979, she published two booklets of poems PRIERE A UN ABRE SOLITAIRE and FRANCHE CANCAN ET PAS DE QUOI, and submitted a collection of three hundred illustrated maxims for the newspaper Le Monde that were never returned to her and never published.
-In 1980, she came to Israel with her son, learning and then teaching Torah in various institutions. She became Rabbi Meir Kahane's assistant and after he was killed wrote a book in French about this period in Jewish History entitled KAHANE ET LE KAHANISME, ISBN 978-965-71329-1-1. She then studied with Rabbi Yossef Kappach for 8 years (concentrating on the Rambam and Rav Saadya Gaon), had a weekly radio show in Hebrew and English sponsored by Shifra Hoffman where she analyzed the news in the light of Jewish Law. She obtained the Diploma of the Jerusalem Institute of Biblical Polemics directed by Shmuel Golding, who asked her to write a series of articles on the Bnei Noach commandments for his monthly magazine. A few of her political articles were published in the Bulletin of Yemin Israel in Russian translation.

 In 2000, Elisheva produced the website TORAH FOR GENTILES for the Evelyn Torah Center which was removed after one year when the money dried out. This book expands and elaborates the articles that were published there. She is currently studying Islam and Talmud at Bar Ilan University and is a regular auditor at the seminars of Halichot Am Israel directed by Rabbi Ratson Arussi and ''Moreshet HaMishpat HaYivri''directed by Professor Nachum Rakover.

 She’s got guts, brains, looks, and faith. Any one of these features alone would make her a charming person, but all of them together make of her an explosive “impossible person to deal with”. No matter – she’s obstinate to boot! Misunderstood by her family, untamed by her teachers, rejected by society and ignored by friends, she still managed to dodge drugs, duck psychiatrists, pass over prostitution and avoid suicide – think I do not see you, Satan? And she’s got talent too. An amateur artist, self-taught scholar, and unpublished writer, she has noticeable impact wherever she goes, but receives credit from no one. Pity she doesn’t care… because you know, she’s very independent and honest too!
