[Torah] =: The Torah: A Modern Commentary

Nearly twentyfive years after the groundbreaking publication of the firstever English language liberal Torah commentary, we present The Torah: A Modern Commentary, Revised Edition. This volume features updated commentary and translations, including a gendersensitive version of the JPS translation, with largely genderneutral God language and a completely fresh translation of Genesis and of the haftarot by the late Rabbi Chaim Stern. In addition, the volume is reorganized by parashah and includes a helpful index and aliyot markers, improving upon the 1981 original. As Rabbi David Ellenson, President of the Hebrew Union CollegeJewish Institute of Religion, states, “This book provide a dazzling compendium of sources both classical and modern, and a variety of voices that will enhance worship and study of everyone.”
