Excellent translation and commentary. Highly recommended. This will cause you to appreciate the Scriptures like never before. The commentary alone is priceless and so very rich with much food for thought.

This series is a worthy alternative to the ubiquitous Stone Chumash (Artscroll). There are quite a few synagogue bibles coming out of Israel these days. For those of us with weak Hebrew skills, however, there are a relatively small number of well written and handsome volumes to choose from.

I think this chumash series is worth a look. It has a quasi-academic feel but still geared toward laymen and it has enough interesting commentary to keep it from being just a dry rendering of Targum Onkelos. Not quite as refined at some of the others, but still admirable quality for this price point.

Bottom line: This is a synagogue chumash that is a little out of the ordinary but Traditional enough to carry to any synagogue.
