Review
"A landmark event." -- Cynthia Ozick

"What a wondrous combination-the highly praised JPS English translation of the Bible with the complete Masoretic Hebrew text. Add to this the elegant page design, easily readable type, sewn binding, and fine Bible paper-and you have an extraordinary lasting work." -- Chaim Potok

...we have come to appreciate this translation because it makes the Bible make sense and because it is a Bible that we can read and feel directly addressed by because it speaks in the language of our time. It belongs on the shelf of every person who wants to study the Bible for the first time or who wants to come to it afresh. -- Rabbi Jack Riemer, Book Review, 7/8/99

A gorgeous new Bible... real value comes from adding the Hebrew, paired with its translation in a dual column format on each page...a collaboration among eminent Bible scholars representing all perspectives within the Jewish community...following principles of contemporary critical scholarship and sensitivity to the cultural nuances of translation. -- Star Tribune, 7/24/99
