"This gender-sensitive translation will transform our understanding of the Tanakh and our place within it. It invites the reader to envision the Divine and the main actors of the Bible in a more expansive way."--Rabbi Angela W. Buchdahl, Central Synagogue, New York City "This revised translation is not only gender sensitive; it is also gender sensible. Every decision regarding gender has been carefully considered to produce a faithful rendering of the Bible that is finely tuned to contemporary sensibilities. The explanations of the principles that direct these decisions are a welcome bonus; they enhance our understanding of the workings of biblical Hebrew and modern English."--Adele Berlin, Robert H. Smith Professor Emerita of Biblical Studies at the University of Maryland "As we strive for utmost fidelity in how we render the eternal words of Tanakh, greater gender inclusivity in how we talk about people, and greater gender sensitivity in how we speak about God, JPS's new gender-sensitive translation offers us a momentous contribution to biblical study--a massive and crucial step forward.
