This early twentieth-century translation by the Jewish Publication Society bears all of the hallmarks of a classic work. This edition of the Torah brings together one of the most beautiful renderings of the Hebrew Bible in the English language with an introduction by Rabbi Rodney Mariner that sets the tone of this magnificent historical text. The classic 1917 Jewish Publication Society edition brings alive the history of the Jewish people in a way not many have witnessed before. In addition to the Torah, synoptic contents have been added to the beginning of each book in order to help the listener locate the better-known events and their themes.
