JPS Hebrew-English TANAKH: Cloth Edition

Bough this to replace my other JPS Tanakh that I’ve had for almost 20 years. Came sooner than estimated & still sealed in the shrink wrap. The only thing I with JPS would have done is put the vowels for the grey text where the written tradition of the scriptures are different then what is recited. Appreciate the publisher providing footnotes when the translators were not entirely sure what the Hebrew meant. If the publisher will reissue their current translation from 2023 as a Hebrew-English with the grey text fully voweled they’ll have a buyer! Or even if the grey text remains without vowels I’ll still invest in a Hebrew-English RJPS Tanakh.Haftarah readings from the Prophets clearly noted in the back. Helpful intros to the Hebrew text & the English translation.

Beautifully bound -- large size with elegant gold edging. Yes, the paper is thin, but there is a lot of content -- if publishers had used a thicker paper, book would have stretched into 2 volumes and cost would have gone up. Thinner paper made this edition affordable for most people. Translation is very interesting. The print is not as small as some reviewers have complained -- I wear bi-focals and can read it easily with glasses or without. I am very happy with this inspiring purchase -- bought it as a Hanukkah gift for myself and it brings me peace whenever I open it.

Good clear print so that both the English and Hebrew are quite legible despite being on the small side. Pages use quality bible paper that is not too thin, with gold gilded edges. Beautiful gold foil-stamped, padded navy hardcover binding. Very satisfied with it!

I love everything about this Tanakh, especially the footnotes when the true Hebrew meaning of the word/phrase is unclear!

I ordered this tanakh bc im a judaic studies minor and wanted to read the stories with ease. I purchased one in old english and it was quiet hard to read for me. First of all its GORGEOUS! The navy blue with the gold accents is absolutely stunning. It was in perfect condition, ik some people had issues with the condition but i had no problems. It was delated shipping, but at NO fault of the company. We were hit with the polar vortex so my 2 day shipping was delayed, however i did get it 2 days before it was said to be delivered after it got a bit warmer. So far i love it! No issues, no complaints, just a gorgeous tanakh.

It's a great Bible overall, great material (cover). My biggest issue is the small size of the hebrew letters. It's very hard to read if you don't have a 20/20 vision.

Enjoyed the fact that it is intact and it's my very first Tanakh! I wouldn't give the book a "good" condition status but to be fair, the box looked destroyed in transit and was crushed and punctured. Had nothing to do with the seller and everything with Amazon logistics. I have book tape and glue so I patched up the leather to the spine and it's good as new. I'd say the quality is very good now. Quality Tanakh, Amazon delivery needs to do better on transit and delivery care.Enjoyed the previous owners names and people it passed through on the first couple pages. Excited to add my name.

I liked how the stories are unabridged and that it is simple to understand.

I am not Jewish, but I always wanted to read the Jewish Tanakh to see how it differed from bibles of other religions. I have found it to be enjoyabe reading and it came packaged and presented in such a lovely pristine state.

Beautiful quality of the sacred texts. Highly recommended for personal use or as a gift ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a Scripture-Centric muslim (muslim = submitter to God) and rejector of religion and man made laws, I accept the Tanakh as from God and authentic. Therefore I decided to get me a hardcopy version and am really amazed of both the looks (the book is actually black with golden page edges) of the book and the translation itself. Would definitely recommend. Allah/Y**H bless.

I found the Jps Hebrew-English Tanakh very interesting . I was glad to recive it as it is an old testament and good for when you do your studding. It is in both Hebrew and English like it says.

This just arrived at my home yesterday. I am super happy with this purchase. Beautiful attention to detail. I love the gilded-edged pages! Feels very fitting for a book of holy words and teachings to be edged with gold. ❤️Very insightful introduction and history. The ribbon bookmark was tucked into a chapter of scripture from the Nevi'im - prophets section: Yoel - Joel 4.2-4:19Feels like an important chapter. Shared in my review as images. 😊❤️
