JPS is pleased to make available a new, more compact edition of the landmark publication, Etz Hayim: A Torah Commentary. This book, a publication of the Conservative movement, was produced through a joint venture of the Rabbinical Assembly, the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, and The Jewish Publication Society. This new, smaller edition is a convenient alternative to the standard hardcover edition and is ideal for personal study and travel. It contains all the material in the original, excerpt for the essays. The Bible text, translations, and commentaries as well as the blessings, artwork, maps, glossary and other reference tools for the worshiper and student of Torah reader are included. The sturdy, coated paper cover is designed to stand up well, even with heavy use.

compact and informative:
I already owned the large harcover version of this torah and commentary. I was thrilled to get it in a smaller version that allows me to carry it along in my briefcase and to read and meditate on the scripture anywhere. The commentary is excellent and enlightening as it brings so much more meaning to the text. I recommend it highly.
A popular gift:
Our synagogue's Men's Club has given out over 50 of the Etz Hayim travel editions as B'nai Mitzvah gifts for the past two years. The book is popular with the kids as well as with the parents. If only the hardback edition was as reasonably priced!
Very pleased:
I was very pleased with the new and unique format for the Etz Hayim Torah and Commentary. I found the introduction very helpful in explaining the Parashat, Midrash, and Halakhah commentaries, and also found them well presented. I also enjoy the Etz Hayim Study Companion with its excellent articles on methods for the study of Torah.
Words of Life:
The Etz Chayim is Light and Life, Blessed Be the Most Blessed One -- HASHEM....
