The Steinsaltz Tanakh is Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz's pioneering modern translation and commentary on the Hebrew Bible. The work aims to make the text clear, engaging, and accessible to readers of all backgrounds and to let the Torah speak in its own words. It focuses on connecting the reader directly to the peshat — the plain meaning of the biblical text —and includes references to many earlier commentaries, works of Jewish thought, and other sources.
