Phrase-by-phrase translation and elucidation of Ramban Added words and phrases for smooth reading and clear understanding Introductory notes to set the stage for the commentary Thousands of explanatory footnotes Ramban (Nachmanides) Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman, who lived in 13th-century Spain, was one of the greatest minds in an epoch of great men. He was a leader, a thinker, a Torah and Talmud commentator, a halachic decisor, a successful defender of Judaism against the Church and its Jewish apostates. At the age of 70 he was exiled from his native Aragon, and during the next three years, he wrote the monumental Chumash commentary that has stood the test of over six centuries. Unexcelled in depth, breadth, scope, and profundity, Ramban's comprehensive commentary is exceedingly brilliant, exceedingly seminal - and exceedingly complex. Few are those who have mastered this masterpiece. Now, thanks to a superb group of exceptional scholars, writers, and editors, Ramban's Chumash commentary is coming alive in English for everyone. Following the renowned pattern of the magnificent Schottenstein Edition of the Talmud and the Sapirstein Edition of Rashi, this classic commentary is presented with unprecedented clarity. No effort has been spared to make this new Chumash clear, accurate, and "user-friendly". In short, this treatment of Chumash-Ramban will be the last word for generations to come. When completed, it will be eight volumes of excellence.

This review is from: Ramban: Bereishis, Chapters 25-50 (Hardcover)

Simply the best translation of any traditional commentary that has come into my hands.

Mesorah/Artscroll always do excellent work but this is even remarkable for them.

If you want to learn Torah this set along with the Artscroll Rashi will give you a real foundation that cannot be matched.
