Review # 1 was written on 2015-09-15 00:00:00 Stephen Simmons This was an important book. I'm not sure if the frum community has yet come around on this matter or if the book is still as relevant as when it was written, but at the time it certainly needed to be said, and Rabbi Twerski said it, and well. His abundant use of metaphors made for a more convincing reading experience. I also found myself learning something new, despite my background in psychology. That doesn't happen too often, especially in a book about "basics" like this one. My one complaint is that the editor must have been completely out to lunch. I found a sentence that repeated itself, a number of paragraphs out of order, and a blatant misspelling, just by casually reading and with minimal attention. Considering the publisher, I was surprised, to say the least.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-02-16 00:00:00 Joe Wilkinson 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.
