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 — presented in a way that makes it both accessible and enjoyable to scholar and layman alike?
The first volume of the Rubin Edition — Joshua/Judges —provided the answer.
Thanks to the brilliance of the ArtScroll/Mesorah team of scholars and writers — led by Rabbi Nosson Scherman — the tradition continues, with The Rubin Edition of I Samuel and II Samuel in one volume. This translation and commentary on the Prophets is sweeping the English-speaking world, providing new dimensions of understanding and beauty. It not only brings the verses alive, it makes them speak to us — in language, in outlook, in aspiration for spiritual growth.

This outstanding new work has an unprecedented array of features:

• A highly regarded new English translation, firmly grounded in traditional sources  
• A commentary culled from classic sources and presented gracefully and literately  
• Newly set Hebrew commentaries of Rashi, Radak, and Metzudos Tzion and Dovid, so you can study on many levels  
• Newly set, accurate Hebrew text of the Tanach  
•  Introductions and explanations of difficult concepts  
• Lightweight, opaque, acid-free paper, for decades of use  
• Gilded page heads  
• Ribbon place-marker
