Beautiful book!:
The Chumash is just beautiful and well worth the price. I study Torah weekly on the phone with a friend across country and we both use The Chumash. It really enhances our learning experience. I especially enjoy reading the commentaries. The book is of very high quality. I know I will treasure this book forever.
Best Chumash on market:
The are many "Bibles" on market but ArtScroll has the best! They have the best covers and commentaries. None compare. A close second is Gutnick but ArtScroll has been around much longer.
Excellent!:
This book is beautiful and a blessing to have! This is my favorite Chumash by far (and I have many). The format of the book is easy to follow, and the Hebrew includes cantillation! I personally think that the commentary was great, especially considering the limited space the author had to work with. Great book for Shabbat :)
Great commentary for lay Catholics:
As a traditional Catholic, I was searching for authentic Jewish commentary on the Old Testament and found this title through the Art Scroll publishing company. Boy, was I impressed! Let me start by stating that the Chumash only contains the first five (5) books of the Bible - Genesis, Exodus, etc. It does not contain the remainder books of the Old Testament beyond the first five (5) books. This is commonly referred to as the "Torah" in Judaism. Also, there is no New Testament in this volume. Also,... more info
