The Hirsch Chumash in a masterful new English translation!

In 19th-century Europe, Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch stood at the forefront in defense of traditional Judaism. When the movement against tradition arose and young Jews flocked to its ranks en masse, Hirsch staunchly defended the traditions of Judaism, and succeeded in winning the commitment of large segments of the Jewish people. His community of Frankfurt-am-Main represented a bastion of traditional Judaism in Germany.

Since it first appeared nearly 150 years ago, the Hirsch Commentary on Chumash has gained worldwide popularity for the breathtaking scope of insight and information it offers to scholar, student, and layman alike. The commentary fully expresses Rabbi Hirsch's philosophy of Torah im derech eretz -- the interconnectedness of Torah and world civilization. Moreover, Hirsch's commentary addresses the doubts and questions that often assail the modern mind and provides insightful, penetrating answers. Underlying the commentary is Rabbi Hirsch's unique approach to the structure and etymology of Lashon HaKodesh: his profound analysis of the letters, root words, and source of words found in Chumash.

To better accommodate today's English speaking public, this masterful new translation and easy-to-read design has been developed to clearly and accurately convey the meaning of the original text in its entirety.

Open the new Hirsch Chumash and experience the length and breadth of this magnificent work as never before!
