Description
Book SynopsisThe biblical commentaries known as
Miqra'ot Gedolot have inspired and educated generations of Hebrew readers. With this edition, the voices of Rashi, Ibn Ezra, Nachmanides, Rashbam, and other medieval Bible commentators come alive once more, speaking in a contemporary English translation annotated and explicated for lay readers.
Trade Review“The JPS
Commentators Bible is one of the most useful resources I now have in my library. It opens the door to the wisdom of the classic commentators to Jewish students of all levels of Hebrew fluency. The translations are fluid and accessible, and this important work represents an invaluable invitation to join the centuries-long conversation of Torah commentary and interpretation. I eagerly await the completion of the remaining volumes of
The Rubin JPS Miqra’ot Gedolot.”—Rabbi Dan Levin (Temple Beth El, Boca Raton, Florida)
“Anyone who is unfamiliar with medieval commentary, or who is unable to study the commentators in the original Hebrew, will find
The Commentators’ Bible a worthy addition to their book shelves. Carasik has done a real service making this material available.”—
The Reporter “The importance of this volume cannot be overestimated—for the first time, we have a responsible translation of the miqra’ot gedolot . . . that is accessible to those without great facility in Hebrew.”—
