Description: The first new Torah commentary for Conservative Judaism in over 70 years, Etz Hayim: Torah and Commentary, boasts an all-star editorial cast. Harold Kushner's d'rash (interpretive commentary) explores the importance of social justice in Judaism, while Chaim Potok's contributions attempt to ground the Torah historically by ascertaining its meaning to the ancient Israelites. A special section edited by Elliot Dorff and Susan Grossman investigates the Jewish legal tradition and its foundations in the Torah; biblical scholar Michael Fishbane offers commentary on the haftarah (Torah portions to be read in the synagogue throughout the year). This commentary is a monumental achievement, incorporating recent archaeological findings, textual interpretations and (for the first time) the opinions of female rabbis. 10&3/16" x 7&3/8" hardcover published 2001, some mild wear to cover (see pics) along gutter and top edge, 1,381 to 1,416 folded just at the lower outer corners (see pic), on back endpapers is sticker that book was presented to individual on their bar mitzvah, binding excellent, pages bright and clean like new.
