Koren Jerusalem Tanakh-FL Hardcover – 15 April 2015

This compact edition of the Koren Jerusalem Tanakh shares all the advantages of the standard-size Koren Hebrew-English Tanakh (ISBN-13: 9789653017214), such as a Hebrew text which incorporates the corrections proposed by the Masoretes; an accurate English translation on the facing page for those whose Hebrew is rusty or elementary, which draws on the heritage of English translations going back to the Authorised Version of King James, but is not slavish in adhering to incorrect or prejudiced readings; and, finally, some useful appendices and maps.The typeface in this compact edition, moreover, is much more easily legible than that of the three-volume 'pocket' edition (ISBN-13: 9789653010567), which has such small print that it strains the eyes to try to read it. The compact edition shares with the 'pocket' edition, however, the great advantage of being, as described, "compact", being of a similar height to the volumes of the Loeb Classical Library. Nonetheless, the thickness of the spine (7 cm) does not make it as easily portable as desirable for those who want both a portable and legible Hebrew and English Tanakh for travel or carrying in one's bag for daily use. Would Koren Publishers please consider printing an edition on India paper, which would reduce the thickness of the spine by about a third and make this excellent Tanakh truly compact and portable.

Honestly, treated myself to this as H/brew on rusty side, (this has realistic/meaningful translations & Lords Language both) and as a normally, completely self-absorbed selfish father of four, I have become aware that I have been remiss in personal practice; more so in not regularly encouraging/discussing/explaining insight to the kids. Also have a granddaughter. Hopeful that as they notice me studying Torah they might be so inclined, if not immediately, over time. This Palm-sized, beautifully designed and lovingly created, hard-back tome is just the right fit! Easy to pick up, hold and read: Very Grateful, Very Pleased, Very Great Bargain - I am very thankful for this authentic, genuine and fair, honest, valuable life-enhancing transaction. I wish you all the good and prosperity you deserve for creating such a high-quality, well-priced, wonderful book for scrolling through scripture. Brilliant! Sincerest Thanks - MLC

How do you review one of the greatest stories of all time. You are either a believer or you are not. You will find the answers to questions you have or you won't.The bible itself is neatly set out with the Hebrew on one side and the English translation on the opposite page. It is not the King James bible, it is older and hopefully less messed with.

Personally, I must say that the font of the english and hebrew are very small but the translation is very good. I love the Size of this Book and the Price is pretty decent. I would recommend definitely if you want to take it with you whilst you are Travelling but if you want to study it then I'd recommend the Bigger Version.

Love this, use it daily, right size to keep in my tallit/tefillin bag. sharp print, it's a bit small so be wary if that's an issue for you

Study and meditation

Firstly I would say that I'd love to have the opportunity to read this translation, be it kindle or in a different print format. But this is too small in terms of font and feels very cluttered to read. The paper is also very thin meaning text shows through easily making it feel even more cluttered and difficult to read. But if you can deal with these aspects then I'd recommend it.

Great and fantastic Bible!

Una Tanakh formidable en Hebreo e Inglés para su uso diario, de tamaño cómodo para utilizar en el día a día e incluso llevarla a la sinagoga.

good to have as a reference for word studies. i didn't mind to see the actual print size, but it is adequate. The literature of the semite tongue leads the reader to pictograph Words as they are accustomed to see references by their experiences. How does one enter into the Words as Teachings without references to the Visible Spectrum whereby without fault of the reader, the Light in the Words are confined to imagery conditioned in the eye of the world. For example, when one reads of the Garden of Eden, a common phrase, how it is understood? Is the Tongue of the Ancients necessary to be able to read what is being SAID? That is, is work of grammarians necessary to interpret the Signs and Symbols of the Light which are inherently inscribed in the Soul of the Bone of MAN?Early on a very clear dream came to me to study Hebrew while employed at Indiana University. The dream was so compelling that it took me to a campus that eye had never seen, into the Office of the Registrar to enroll in classes. I spent four years there studying classical languages, reading and translating parts of the Tanach, to which I am endebted for the door opened and the knowledge ascertained. However, I have found more native to the print and pen are the Language of the Stars which are within every MAN, a unified assembly of beasts—b’hamuth—warm blooded bodies of the Breaths of the Nephash Hhyut—Living Soul.What is deemed important to know inwardly are the Primordial Letters of Light by which thoughts of the Universe of Faces are transmitted into aligned centres of the Faces in MAN to register as they are quickened through vibrant living frequencies that upscale the visible to function according to its INvisible Nature. Through these associations of the Letters as transmitters of the Light Vibrations and Sound, the narratives and their origins of Teachings rise from the print to the ear to be understood as INvisible communications of the Faces. The texts have been beat-up through religious and political interferences, wildly translated from their pure virginity, that what has been handed down and read as print shadows the illumination of the intented narratives.Could you envision the Garden of e-Dan—Consciousness of DAN—the Breaths that judge what they carry as freely given treasuries and keys to enter into the Consortium of the Faces to be other than visible imaginations of trees, some dangling tempting fruit, and a couple nudes talking to a snake? Well, Faces—UP! When you eat of the visible nature of the Word, you partake of death; however, when you EAT the LIVING INVISIBLE TRUTH, you swallow life to run in your blood that abides in living Soul. You see beyond the illusions by seeing the INvisible threads that weave your Body of Soul into habitations of Breaths. Let us move by the Faces of the Day to behold with an Ear to hEAR what they say joyfully in peace.

O produto é excelente, material de qualidade, bem acabado e o mais importante, é fiel em relação a parte escrita em hebraico, incluindo os espaçamentos, que possuem um significado para aqueles que estudam com mais afinco. Fora entregue bem embalado e protegido, zero avarias.Recomendo o produto, mas aviso que demora um pouco para chegar e que dado ao tamanho do livro as letras são BEM PEQUENAS, tirando isso é nota 10.

Die Schrift ist sehr gut lesbar, die Schriftgröße auch. Auch die Gliederung ist einach handelbar. Ein Daumenregister wäre nett. Aber insgesamt sehr zufrieden.

The book obviously is not pocket size and is really very thick like dictionary, but the way of presentation is good and on the whole the book is excellent. Plz. See that the book starts from the back and not fron the front, i.e. book opens from the left and not from the right hand side.
