5.0 out of 5 stars Best Hebrew-English chumash available!, January 18, 2001

This review is from: The Stone Edition of the Chumash: The Torah, Haftaros, and Five Megillos With a Commentary Anthologized from the Rabbinic Writings (Hardcover)

Handsome edition, with lucid contemporary translation. This is fast becoming the most popular English-language Chumash for synagogue and home use, and it's easy to see why.

With illustrations, cross-references, and haftorahs included in this nicely-bound single volume, it's a thrill to see a work of this quality available from Amazon.com.

This makes a fine bar/bat mitzvah gift, as it's an essential addition to any Jewish home (even one that has a chumash/Bible already).

This review is from: The Stone Edition of the Chumash: The Torah, Haftaros, and Five Megillos With a Commentary Anthologized from the Rabbinic Writings (Hardcover)

This is a great personal reference. There is not much that I can add to prior superlative reviews. BUT for this five volume set (please note the actual physical dimensions of the books) one needs a magnifying glass to read the text. Even with my reading glasses on 2.5's it was too hard....

Arrived in a timely manner. The print is small but perfect for the shlepper who wants to make use of random moments in the day to do some learning without having to shlepp a lot more. Great for a college student! I highly recommend it!
