The Jewish Study Bible: featuring The Jewish Publication Society TANAKH Translation

Editorial Review:

The Jewish Study Bible presents the center of gravity of the Scriptures where Jews experience it--in Torah. It offers readers the fruits of various schools of Jewish traditions of biblical exegesis (rabbinic, medieval, mystical, etc.) and provides them with a wealth of ancillary materials that aid in bringing the ancient text to life. The nearly forty contributors to the work represent the cream of Jewish biblical scholarship from the world over. No knowledge of Hebrew is required for one to make use of this unique volume.
The JSB uses The Jewish Publication Society TANAKH Translation, whose name is an acronym formed from the Hebrew initials of the three sections into which the Hebrew Bible is traditionally divided (Torah, Instruction; Nevi'im, Prophets; and Kethubim, Writings). A committee of esteemed biblical scholars and rabbis from the Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Judaism movements produced this modern translation, which dates from 1985.
Anyone interested in acquiring a fuller understanding of the riches of the Bible will profit from reading The Jewish Study Bible.

The Jewish Study Bible:

This product is superbe. I was not happy with the way it was packaged. This is a havy book and it must be wrapped individually. The outer jackets of all of the books I ordered were damaged and wrinkled.

Tanakh Review:

Excellent study guide. Great for definitions of words . Explains from Jewish perspective. Each Chapter gives background of the Torah, Nevi'im and other important Jewish and Chritian text. If you want to study the Bible or Tanakh this is great for beginners.
