Publisher Description

The JPS TANAKH: The Jewish Bible, audio version, is a recorded version of the JPS TANAKH, the most widely read English translation of the Hebrew, or Jewish, Bible. Produced and recorded for The Jewish Publication Society (JPS) by The Jewish Braille Institute (JBI), this complete, unabridged audio version of the Torah features over 14 hours of readings by seven narrators. The Torah is the essence of Jewish tradition; it inspires each successive generation. The current JPS translation, based on classical and modern sources, is acclaimed for its fidelity to the ancient Hebrew.

Funding for this recording is made possible through the generosity of Aaron Feingold, M.D., in memory of Esther Feingold, who saw life with a good eye (Pirke Avot); Dr. Seymour and June Kessler, in memory of Harry and Rose Kessler, remembered with love; and Norman and Edith Weisfeld, in loving memory of Benjamin and Rose Krumholz, and David Weisfeld.

"Very clear, modern translation of these Hebrew scriptures. For those used to reading the Christian Old Testament, prepare for an eye-opener, as tone is quite different, and more precise renditions of Hebrew words give popular sections of these books a very different spin. "

    " Lovely, inspiring, and wonderful as it should be. The one problem is the size of the text - about 6pt. Luckily for me I'm young and nearsighted, but I doubt that my mother could read this easily. "
