Highlighting: “The Israel Bible,” edited by Rabbi Tuly Weisz. Menorah Books, Koren Publishers Jerusalem. Hardcover. 2000 pages. ISBN 978-1-940516-80-6. $59.95
(Courtesy of Menorah Books) The Israel Bible is the world’s first Bible centered around the land of Israel, the people of Israel and the dynamic relationship between them. Designed for both Jewish and non-Jewish readers alike, The Israel Bible offers a unique commentary that seeks to explain God’s focus on the land of Israel alongside the original Hebrew text and the New Jewish Publication Society translation. All 929 chapters highlight verses that relate to Israel, including relevant quotes and perspectives from prime ministers, as well as abundant maps, charts and illustrations. In the 70 years since the modern rebirth of the state of Israel, the Jewish state has been at the forefront of the world’s attention. Today, there are countless efforts to vilify the Jewish state. Yet, there is also an ever-expanding movement of biblical Zionists who stand alongside the nation of Israel as an expression of their commitment to God’s eternal word. As we seek to understand the clash between these two conflicting ideologies, while seeking to make sense of the modern world’s great interest in Israel, the need for The Israel Bible has never been so timely or important.
The Israel Bible is published by Menorah Books, a division of Koren Publishers Jerusalem.
