Beautiful! So Happy!
I ordered a small Paperback copy of a Tanakh in 2014, and I have so much enjoyed it. After studying through this wonderful Book so many times, I decided to search especially for this same Tanakh-- published by JPS-- in Hardcover. I found this Jewish Study Bible; but, to ensure this was the same Book, I compared line for line, in random Chapters. I was so happy that my Prayer had been answered..It is the same Bible as I had in Paperback but with a slightly different Cover and Name! Would I buy it again? Yes, Yes, and Yes!

Excellent source for research and study
With its many and lengthy footnotes it is an excellent way to understand and compare the Hebrew "Bible" to the Christian versions. The various choices of translation made from Hebrew to English point out how all writers and translators of the Bible have made interpretations. This is also, probably, the most respected translation.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A must for any Bible student
The Tanakh is a valuable biblical resource for any student of the Bible. It pays to have more than one, and this is a good one to have. I found it hard to believe that this bible actually had around 2200 pages. It does. Plenty of study pages. Highy recommend.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
