About the Author

The Jewish Publication Society (JPS), founded in 1888, stands as a cornerstone of Jewish literary and scholarly endeavor in America, dedicated to producing authoritative translations and editions of sacred Jewish texts for English-speaking audiences. Comprising a collaborative network of rabbis, scholars, and educators, JPS has championed the preservation and accessibility of Jewish heritage through meticulous scholarship and linguistic precision. Their landmark publications, including the JPS Hebrew-English TANAKH and the Tanakh (Tanach) Jewish Bible (1917 Jewish Publication Society Translation), reflect a commitment to bridging ancient wisdom with modern readers, fostering deeper understanding and appreciation of Judaism's foundational scriptures. Over more than a century, JPS continues to influence Jewish education, worship, and cultural discourse worldwide.
