A brand-new resource that will change the way you understand Chumash.

The Oral Torah is based on the Written Torah, and it often cites verses from the Chumash. In this unique Chumash commentary, the original text of the Oral Torah and an easy-to-follow explanation appear with the verse that was cited in the Mishnah or Talmud. Here, we can see what the Oral Torah had to say about the Chumash verses, profoundly enriching our understanding of the Chumash itself.

The Milstein Edition Chumash with the Teachings of the Talmud includes:

• Hebrew text of the Chumash with a flowing English translation

• Rashi and Onkelos, fully vowelized

• The text of Mishnah, Talmuds Bavli and Yerushalmi, or Mesechtos Ketanos that mentions the verse, in the original Hebrew or Aramaic

• An easy-to-read narrative adaptation of the text of the Oral Torah, explaining what the Sages say

• When a verse is the source of one of the 613 mitzvahs, a citation from the Sefer HaChinuch (Book of Mitzvos)

Following the pattern of the universally acclaimed Yeshayah / Isaiah, and Yirmiyah / Jeremiah, this new volume includes:

• The universally acclaimed ArtScroll translation

• A clear, broad-ranging, graceful commentary

• Stunning diagrams and charts illustrating the construction of the Third Temple

• Newly typeset Hebrew commentaries of Rashi, Radak, and Metzudos

• Overview explaining the role of Ezekiel in the context of the Destruction and Exile

• Introductions and explanations of concepts and prophecies

• Lightweight, opaque, acid-free paper; reinforced, sturdy binding

• Gilded page headings; ribbon place marker

Hashem gave Ezekiel a dual assignment. He was to present a scathing picture of the sins that were causing the Destruction, and he was to comfort the despondent nation with the assurance that their enemies would be punished and Israel would emerge from exile with unprecedented eminence. Ezekiel prophesied in Babylonia, warning the exiles not to repeat the sins of Jerusalem, but assuring them that Hashem was with them even in exile. His message applies to us, as well, because the key to Israel's survival and success is Hashem - and, as in Ezekiel's time, that depends on how sincerely we repent and how loyally we serve Him.

The underlying message of Ezekiel is that destruction will be followed by redemption and the eternal Third Temple. Israel will always survive and thrive again. There may be a Nebuchadnezzar, but there will also be a Messiah. Israel's enemies will disappear in ignominy. And no matter how far Israel may fail - they always remain the people of Hashem and Hashem remains their God. So ultimately Ezekiel is a Book of hope and inspiration.

This brilliant, elevating work belongs in every Jewish library!

For decades, Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik lectured on Chumash in a variety of venues. From his lecture hall at Yeshiva University, he analytically explored the p shat of the Chumash. In Boston, he philosophically expounded the hashkafah of Yahadus. At the Moriya Synagogue, he brought the Chumash alive with an incisive approach to classical d rush. The Rav Thinking Aloud on the Parsha showcases all of these styles in a collection of shiurim spanning 30 years. All of the English shiurim are transcribed verbatim to provide the reader with a full appreciation of the Rav's style. Added to this are transcripts of personal discussions that provide insight into the way the Rav analyzed Chumash. Find out how the Rav approached questions such as: 1. The Midrash says that Hashem created and destroyed many worlds before creating ours. Why couldn't Hashem "get it right" the first time? 2. Who was Hashem talking to when He said, "Naaseh Adam"? Why should Hashem need to consult anyone else? 3. Why did Avraham protest the destruction of Sodom, but quickly went along with killing his son Yitzchak? 4. If Yitzchak wasn't sure which son was in front of him, why not call in a servant? Why give a b rachah at all? 5. Why was Yaakov distressed about killing Eisav? We have a principle of self-defense: if someone comes to kill you, you must kill him first.

For most people, Tanach is something they studied a smattering of when they were too young to understand it. The result is that we have vague recollections of some of the narratives, and even less comprehension of its messages. But the Talmud tells us that the Books of the Prophets contain only prophecies that were needed by future generations. This new commentary not only brings the verses alive, it does so in such a way that they are actually speaking to us in language, in outlook, in aspiration for spiritual growth.

The Rubin Edition's inclusion of the major Hebrew commentaries gives this work a high degree of versatility, so that it can be studied on many levels.

What the Schottenstein Edition does for the study of Talmud, and the Stone Edition does for the study of Chumash, the Rubin Edition will do for the study of Tanach. For multitudes of people, it has been a closed book. No more.

This first volume in the Rubin Edition of the Prophets is The Book of Kings 2
