10 reviews for The Living Torah in English [Hardcover]

  1. LeftHandLady


    Sadly, Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan passed away many years ago, in 1983. The Living Torah is his legacy, and it is a beautiful Torah that is easy to read and understand. The extensive commentaries that are well placed so they do not distract from reading the main text. There are illustrations, an extensive bibliography and a comprehensive index. I highly recommend this informative and important work.

  2. Nancy C. Mann


    Highly recommend.Bought multiple copies for friends and clergy.Footnotes are Fascinating!Study daily.BTW, Protestant…

  3. Sharon McGowan Willicome


    Each day when reading from the Torah in my home, this is the version I turn to. Rabbi Kaplan’s years of devotion and work have given the Jewish people the finest study tool we could ask for, the work is comprehensive and easily understood. Yes, this edition of the Torah should be in every Jewish home, and used daily for personal enrichment and understanding.

  4. Jeanne Marie Lambrianou


    Plain, clear translation, good notes without distracting from the readability. Good for all students of Torah.

  5. Darryl Mazor


    I have quite a few Torahs, this is the most deeply Jewish of them all, the commentary and images are amazing!

  6. Peter Mckay


    This was my first Torah and is still the Torah I turn to first when praying or looking up passages. Very understandable with many of the Oral Traditions included on the same page.

  7. Dtur616


    This book was recommended to me by my Rabbi and I have been very happy with it. There are many foot notes that help one to understand what is being written.

  8. Robert


    A magnificent and authoritative work encompassing the 5 books of Moses. The author explains everything in English and includes numerous diagrams and annotations. A truly excellent way to understand the Torah in a contemporary living way.

    The Living Torah
    I have given 4 stars because of the usage of The Most High’s Name. Hebrew does not usually recognize the name ‘God’ even though the use of the name is explained in this edition it makes me feel a little uncomfortable. Apart from that GREAT translation. I have never understood scripture more than now. The use of moden language makes things so much clearer and the footnotes, maps and illistrations are brill.
