Description

You know and use the Stone Edition, which has become the standard English-language Chumash. But what about the rest of the Written Torah, the Prophets and the Writings? Where can we go for a sweeping understanding of the text, as understood by the Sages and the classic commentators ù presented in a way that makes it both accessible and enjoyable to scholar and layman alike?
The first volume of the Rubin Edition ù Joshua/Judges ùprovided the answer.
Thanks to the brilliance of the ArtScroll/Mesorah team of scholars and writers ù led by Rabbi Nosson Scherman ù the tradition continues, with The Rubin Edition of I Samuel and II Samuel in one volume.
