Summary: Wonderful Hebrew-English Bible - Excellent Translation!
Comment: JPS' "Hebrew-English Tanakh: The Traditional Hebrew Text And The New JPS Translation" is the best Bible I have seen for the purpose of study. The translation is superior and when in doubt, the Hebrew text is right there, alongside the English, to compare. This edition was recommended to me when I began a two year course on Judaism and Jewish Life sponsored by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
This JPS edition of the Tanakh, composed of the Pentateuch, the Nevi'im (Prophets), and the Kethuvim (Writings), was translated from the original authoritative Hebrew text into the modern idiom of English in three stages, representing the collaboration of academic scholars with rabbis from the three major branches of organized Jewish life in America. The Torah was published in 1962, The Prophets in 1978, and the Writings in 1982. The text preceding the Preface, and the Preface itself, include an excellent history of the Hebrew text.
I have read this edition through, and find it to be a most rewarding experience. The English translation is the closest to the original Hebrew that I have seen. The print is clear and easy to read and the notes are superior. The Hebrew font is large enough to read without eye strain, and includes vowels - which is a plus for me. And the book is beautifully bound. I continue to refer to it almost daily for study purposes and for my own personal edification. I think this is one of the best book purchases I have ever made.

Summary: Functional and Lovely
Comment: After reading the JPS English Translation of the Tanakh alone, I was interested in reading the Tanakh in the Hebrew. I decided to get the Traditional Hebrew/JPS English Tanakh. I have some knowledge of Hebrew, but not enough to read it completely. Therefore, this Tanakh was a practical choice. Now I can read the Hebrew text and have the English translation close by when I need it.
The set up of the book is well done, the book opens from left to right, Hebrew is in the right column/English is in the left, and the print is clear. The hardcover leatherette version is a deep navy with gold lettering on the cover. There are gold page edges and a navy place holder. It is a treasure!
