Regarded throughout the English-speaking world as the standard English translation of the Holy Scriptures, the*JPS TANAKH*has been acclaimed by scholars, rabbis, lay leaders, Jews, and Christians alike. The*JPS TANAKH*is an entirely original translation of the Holy Scriptures into contemporary English, based on the Masoretic (the traditional Hebrew) text. It is the culmination of three decades of collaboration by academic scholars and rabbis, representing the three largest branches of organized Judaism in the United States. Not since the third century b.c.e., when 72 elders of the tribes of Israel created the Greek translation of Scriptures known as the Septuagint has such a broad-based committee of Jewish scholars produced a major Bible translation.
In executing this monumental task, the translators made use of the entire range of biblical interpretation, ancient and modern, Jewish and non-Jewish. They drew upon the latest findings in linguistics and archaeology, as well as the work of early rabbinic and medieval commentators, grammarians, and philologians. The resulting text is a triumph of literary style and biblical scholarship, unsurpassed in accuracy and clarity.

I was talking with friends prior to some Biblical Holy Days and saying that I intended buying a Jewish Bible. I was gifted this Bible and can say it is as great as the blurb here says. It is my recommendation as a wonderful addition to any home library. I can highly recommend it. In February 2022 I bought a Jewish Study Bible *****2) from Koorong and have had great pleasure using it too. You can certainly research and buy a good range of Jewish Bibles from Koorong and rest assured that any of them are great quality.
