| Review # 1 was written on 2008-07-03 00:00:00 Sheila Cook Of course, I've read this. In both languages! And, I love the fascinating mystery it still generates as a piece of writing. It is the sacred text with the most commentary about it from several religions. It is also the most misunderstood writing, despite all the study it has received. Good Torah, meaning teaching, has it's own message for each reader. The key to receiving the message it has is to be completely open to it, without reaction, without preconceived ideas about it, and without judgement. What you are meant to receive and learn from it, Torah will reveal to you. It will challenge you to really look at you and how you view the world and it will draw you to finding the sacredness in all aspects of life, to seeking justice, and to realizing our equal importance as humans in the spiraling progress of life. Let it challenge you! |
| Review # 2 was written on 2008-05-22 00:00:00 Tim Gallaugher The Old Testament in Hebrew, or The Hebrew Bible. A nice edition with Hebrew text on the right page and a new English translation on the left page. The Hebrew chapter and verse numbers (letters) are written unobtrusively in the right margin. Below the Hebrew text are annotations taken from Rabbinic sources, often with alternative, sometimes conflicting notes from different scholars. I like the fact that the Artscroll editors were objective and included differing viewpoints in the annotations. There are also extensive appendices covering everything from maps to charts of the ancient temple offerings. I recommend this to anyone who has the time and inclination to learn Biblical Hebrew. This one will always be on my "currently-reading" shelf. |
