“As you might expect from Rabbi Sacks, the focus of the commentary is more an elaboration of the spiritual and ethical ideas of Judaism rather than an exposition of individual phrases. Some passages of commentary are like mini-essays. In the broad sweep of his erudition Adam Smith may rub shoulders with Maimonides. But his thoughts were always anchored in a subtle and sophisticated interpretation of the Torah text.”
Simon Rocker, The Jewish Chronicle
“Gone are the “yea’s” and “thou’s” which lent a veneer of antiquity to Hertz. It doesn’t read in a stilted way. There is a fine literary flavour and it is very insightful. He will just rephrase the verse in such a manner that it reads very nicely to the contemporary ear, at the same time being an accurate and a faithful translation of the Hebrew.”
Dayan Binstock, St John's Wood Synagogue
[Rabbi Sacks] “presents our Torah heritage in all its immeasurable beauty, conveyed with his inimitable profundity and incisive clarity”.
Sir Ephraim Mirvis, Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth
