I couldn't believe how perfect the condition of this book is! It's like new!!! I adore this commentary, highly recommend, especially from this seller! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great edition *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 15, 2015* I have tried to start reading the Torah multiple times. And then I get bored. Or I don't understand what's going on. Or the comments are very outdated. I now look forward to my daily Torah study. What I like the most about this edition is the commentary. The essays are wonderful and reinforce what you have just read. You get commentary by scholars and also are presented with a multitude of different views, particularly on something controversial. The gleanings are really special. There, you get presented with thoughts commenting either on the Torah section you have just read or about topics covered in that section. You will read poetry, philosophy, scholars, people from different faiths, etc. One I go through all the wonderful content for that section, I feel like I have a firm grasp on it. I have shared some of the gleanings with my friends and they have been so surprised that these comments have come from a Torah and not some sociology book. As a scholar and a progressive, it has been an amazing experience to see what Plaut put together. I am very impressed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ You need to have this Chumash *by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 27, 2013* This is the Chumash (Jewish Bible 5 Books of Moses)you will find in every Reform synagogue in America. It is a great work of scholarship and is now perhaps a little dated. This current revised addition is more user friendly than the first edition. I do Jewish conversions and use this text with my students. I agree with some critics who find the commentary overly weighted with scientific and historical perspective at the cost of spiritual insights. Nevertheless, I truly believe it's an essential tool for Torah study. Along with the Orthodox Stone Chumash and the Conservative Etz Chayim, it needs to be on your shelf. My friend an Orthodox Rabbi has never read this commentary. I constantly surprise him with insights and challenging commentary gleaned from this work that is obviously considered seditious to the Orthodox Rabbinate. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5187206-the-torah-a-modern-commentary-revised-edition](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5187206-the-torah-a-modern-commentary-revised-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
