Artscroll English Tanach

This Artscroll Tanach is simply amazing! Looks beautiful and has a wealth of background information and commentary/contextual footnotes. I spend as much time reading the notes as I do the actual scripture. It provides so much context and makes many previously confusing passages comprehensible. A true joy to study!

I bought this Tanach primarily for the size. It's exactly as the one I have at home, but it's very heavy. This one is much lighter and smaller.Portability is a big plus as I can take it with me, and pick up where I left off.And, it's so beautiful.What can I say....you will not be disappointed. Shalom.

I purchased the hardback version of this text and it has so far met all expectations. The book is beautifully assembled with a marker tassel and the pages are premium book paper instead of onion pages which increases the life of the text. The only thing I see as a fault is the text is normal size font so those who have trouble reading normal print will have issues with this. The Tanach is laid out as a good study companion with scripture assistance footnotes clearly separated on the bottom of each page, and so far is a smooth translation to modern English. Each chapter is distinctively marked with both the English name as well as the Hebrew name and a short summery before getting into the scripture. The book is by no means a hindrance to carry nor is it very heavy unlike some books I have come across concerning scripture. I am by no means a translator of ancient Hebrew so I can't have an opinion on how correct the translation to modern English is. But compared to the 4 to 5 translations that the modern Holy Bible has gone through with losing some of its meaning and integrity by crossing different languages I do have to admit that it is by far the easiest for a laymen to understand. An example of this is present in the common KJV which started as thus: Hebrew - Greek - Latin - German - English which with each translation something is lost or changed because of language barriers as well as names spellings because of additions or deletions of letters. I would have to give this works a 5 star rating of ease of use, the non complexity in understanding the wording (ease of translation), and the over all quality of the materials used in this version of the Tanach construction it is well worth the price.

I of course love my Tanach . I knew the print was small . I wear bifocals , I can read it fine .I like paperback; because it’s more comfortable holding it.Very happy

Find accurate Hebrew translations. This book is a game changer. It will 🤯 your mind and will make you revisit what the christian old testament version has shown you. A must have💯.... A sample, Isaiah 9:5For a child (has👈🏽) been born to us, a son given to us, and the authority (is👈🏽) upon his shoulder, and the wondrous adviser, the mighty God, the everlasting Father,(called👈🏽) his name, "the prince of peace.

There’s a reason why Orthodox Shul’s use ArtScroll. There are no other translations like it. Not only is this true regarding the Tanakh, but also Siddur’s, Talmudic writings etc. Another great thing about ArtScroll is they include commentaries in their works.The Tanakh I received is good quality and came in the size that is advertised in the description (8.3 in. in length). I saw some other reviews that said the ones they received were small and they were hardly able to read the print. I think they may have gotten a pocket edition by accident.

Second order: Bought English only (full size) for my husband is he not good at learning foreign languages. It's good.First order: I bought both for kids (hard cover and softcover). Hard cover is heavy but font size is great. Soft cover is small one and font size is very small...estimate 5pt. Not sure if going to keep due to font size.

Puts kjv in the right perspective to read properly. Hard cover, sleek, beautifully made.
