Torah Anthology – Tehillim – Me’am Loez – Volume 2

The Torah Anthology: Me’am Lo’ez
Translated by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan

The Torah Anthology is a clear and modern English translation of the renowned Me’am Lo’ez, often hailed as “the outstanding work of Ladino literature.” Originally written by Rabbi Yaakov Culi, one of the greatest Sephardic sages of the 18th century, it was first published in 1730 and quickly transformed the spiritual life of the entire Mediterranean Jewish world.

For centuries, Eastern Jews regarded Me’am Lo’ez as a sacred classic, placing it alongside the Talmud and Mishnah in importance. It became a daily study obligation and a centerpiece of synagogue learning, read each evening in countless communities. Many consider it among the finest Torah commentaries ever written in any language.

This encyclopedic masterpiece is not only a Torah commentary but also a treasury of Jewish knowledge—bringing together halacha, aggadah, history, ethics, and inspiration in a single work. Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan’s faithful and accessible translation opens this timeless classic to the English-speaking world, making it as relevant today as when it was first written.
