Our 5778 / 2018 Humash Upgrade
Congregation B'nai Israel is introducing a new Humash this summer.
Etz Hayim ("Tree of Life")
Etz Hayim is a publication of the Conservative movement, produced through a joint venture with the Rabbinical Assembly, the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, and the Jewish Publication Society.
It features the renowned 1985 JPS English translation; authoritative Hebrew text according to Masoretic tradition; essays on key themes by prominent Conservative movement
rabbis and scholars; two separate sections of commentary,
representing two approaches to interpreting the Torah.
New haftarah commentary by noted biblical scholar
Michael Fishbane points out the connections to the
weekly Torah portion, provides line-by-line commentary on the prophetic text, and indicates readings for
Sephardic and Ashkenazic communities;
special section pointing to Jewish laws based on
biblical passages (halakhah l'ma-aseh);
notation of traditional readings for
Sephardic and Ashkenazic communities.
We invite you to support Congregation B'nai Israel and enhance your Shabbat / Holiday experience by donating a new book to the congregation at a special pre-order price of $60 per book. With your donation, we will insert a customized bookplate to recognize your chosen honoree, simcha, or person of blessed memory.
You can also pre-purchase one or more new prayer books for your family before the June 15 deadline at the same special price of $60 per book. Prices will go up in 5779!
