The Koren Steinsaltz Chumash

The Steinsaltz Humash the long-awaited English version of Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz’s pioneering translation and commentary on the Torah. Like his monumental translation and commentary of the entire Talmud, the new Steinsaltz Humash includes a treasure trove of information to make the text clear, fascinating, and relevant to users of all backgrounds.

Here, Rabbi Steinsaltz’s commentary seeks to connect the reader directly to the peshat, the plain reading of the text. He includes references to many commentaries, while he aims to remove any ‘barriers’ to the text, connecting us directly to the ‘voice of the Torah’.

Hebrew verses in clear Koren font, with vowels and punctuation
Accessible English translation that reflects Rabbi Steinsaltz’s understanding of the text
Parshiyot divided thematically with introductory explanations
Color photos that identify biblical objects and illustrate complicated concepts
