Regarded throughout the English-speaking world as the standard English translation of the Holy Scriptures, the JPS TANAKH has been acclaimed by scholars, rabbis, lay leaders, Jews, and Christians alike. The JPS TANAKH is an entirely original translation of the Holy Scriptures into contemporary English, based on the masoretic (the traditional Hebrew) text. It is the culmination of three decades of collaboration by academic scholars and rabbis, representing the three largest branches of organized Judaism in the US.

Brillint in all ways but the chapter titles
Reviewed: 13-01-24
I love to have the whole Tanakh available as a recording, especially to help me study torah when my dyslexia is at its worse. I just wish they labelled the chapters with at least. I know it's likely impossible to do the full line and verse markings but to have to blindly search through to find the beginning of each chapter can be very frustrating.
Clearly Amazon aren't awear that it's not read like you do a novel.
That's my only real complaint though. I really hope that the JPS can make their new Gender Sensitive Tanakh into an audiobook but I have no idea how much it costs them to make these.

The JPS TANAKH: The Jewish Bible, audio version, is a recorded version of the JPS TANAKH, the most widely read English translation of the Hebrew, or Jewish, Bible. Produced and recorded for The Jewish Publication Society (JPS) by The Jewish Braille Institute (JBI), this complete, unabridged audio version of the Torah features over 14 hours of readings by seven narrators. The Torah is the essence of Jewish tradition; it inspires each successive generation.

I could definitely see areas of improvement and wish the chapters themselves were named as had to spend ages bookmarking the chapters myself so know which part is which but its super helpful to listen to as study the physical copy of scripture infront of me.

In 2010, Chelsea Manning, working as an intelligence analyst in the US Army in Iraq, disclosed 720,000 classified military documents that she had smuggled out via the memory card of her digital camera. In March 2011, the US Army sentenced Manning to 35 years in military prison, charging her with 22 counts relating to the unauthorized possession and distribution of classified military documents. The day after her conviction, Manning declared her gender identity as a woman and began to transition.
