Title Misleading:
The title is misleading
It is not Orthodox, no less Jewish since it includes the New Testament.

Interesting & Useful:
I am glad I got a copy of this Bible. I really like it. I've been studying Hebrew so it makes sense to me. If you have no understantding of the Hebrew language this Bible will be confusing. I have only one complaint. I wish it had been printed in hardback or leather in a larger size with larger font. Then it would be the Bible I would use most. The font is very small.
Great bible for hebrew students:
This is a great bible for people who want to become more familiar with the original language of the old testament.
