5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent commentary -- collect the whole set!, October 8, 2003
This review is from: Torah Anthology: The Twelve Tribes; 2 Volumes (Me'am Lo'ez Series) (Hardcover)
This book is part of a series of English language translations of the Yalkut Me'am Lo'ez by Rabbi Yaakov Culi (1689-1732), a major Sephardic Torah commentator. The translation is by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, who is well-known in the Orthodox and Hasidic world as an excellent interpreter of classical Hebrew texts. Consequently, the book reads smoothly and is easy to follow, in spite of Culi's sometimes wordy 18th-century writing style. I not only recommend this book, but the entire Me'am Lo'ez series. Many of the volumes are out of print but do show up for sale now and then, so set your "Amazon search" requests for "Torah Anthology" and collect the whole set.
