This commentary is well-balanced, shows the research, gives clear explainations, and has a set of wonderful pre-face pages. Fascinating to read, and obviously essential to Torah study.

This is a phenomenal introduction to the Torah! The translation is great...the Hebrew Font is very good...the commentary is top notch - think of it as the poor man's JPS commentary set on the Torah! There are several essays in the back (front for the non-Hebraic) that are very well written and fascinating. I highly recommend this commentary to Jewish and Christian readers who desire to hear the voices of our ancestors in the faith as they wrestle with the very word of G_d.

A must for weekly Torah studies. I don't agree with all of the analysis, but for the most part, the text is an enjoyable read.
