Story
A masterpiece of deep learning and fine sensibility, Robert Alter's translation of the Hebrew Bible, now complete, reanimates one of the formative works of our culture. Capturing its brilliantly compact poetry and finely wrought, purposeful prose, Alter renews the Old Testament as a source of literary power and spiritual inspiration. From the family frictions of Genesis and King David's flawed humanity to the serene wisdom of Psalms and Job's incendiary questioning of God's ways, these magnificent works of world literature resonate with a startling immediacy.

Story
The New Messianic Version of the Bible is becoming increasingly popular among believers in Yeshua (Jesus) because it puts back into an English language Bible some significant things that have been left out of other versions. Is there something missing from your English Bible? Yes. As a matter of fact, there's a LOT missing from your English Bible translation that is present in the original languages! The New Messianic Version, challenges both Jews and Christians to see that the whole Bible is Jewish. It restores the names of people and places to their "Jewish" pronunciation, and it ...

What made the experience of listening to The Jewish Audio Bible the most enjoyable?
I was able to hear the closest modern English translation of the original Hebrew, with the correct pronunciations of names, cities and events. It's not like it varies tremendously from the "standard" bible. But it adds another layer that just doesn't come out in a traditional protestant or Catholic bible. If you really want to hear the true bible that is often called the Old Testament, get the Jewish Audio Bible. You will not regret it.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Hey Gentiles! Here's the real deal!You Just Hit the Mother Lode

What did you like best about The Jewish Audio Bible? What did you like least?
Dan Leonard's voice is nice.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
This translation uses very colloquial,common English I guess the reason for that was to make it more understandable to someone with a second grade vocabulary or has some sort of cognition defect. So it seems a little comical that G-d would say thinks like "get going!" I guess I am used to the torah being translated with archaic words like "Thou, art, hast. etc." This translation does abolish that sort of thing. The very basic vocab made the text tedious and repetitive. I would also have gotten rid of the advertising too!Have you listened to any of Dan Lenard’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
noAny additional comments?
I had never really read the whole Torah before and I was able to get through it with this audiobook but....it wan't easy. It was like forcing my self to finish the vegetables on my plate.The simpleton English diminished it.

Aside from that, I am not Jewish so I can not speak to the accuracy or similar. I found the narrator easy to listen to and understand.
1/3 to 1/4 of the time is a repeating commercial

Unfortunately, this is not clearly stated. I feel it misleads the reader/listener.
This is compounded by the fact that some editorial thoughts are included in the beginning of each section (which I found useful and thought provoking) and commentary is mixed in with the translation so the average listener does not know what is the transliteration and what is the authors added comments. I only know because I listen to this side by side with the generally accepted translation done by JPS and I read the Jewish Bible.
This narration is very good and the work is good. They should have done a better job letting the reader know what is their opinion and what is the direct translation. It is bad enough in some places when they add who sentences to what people say that was actually not said.

What disappointed you about The Jewish Audio Bible?
As an Orthodox Jew, I expected better. Cheesy elevator music between each chapter along with a narrator that often uses an immature "angry" voice for the voice of G-d completely ruined it for me. Why can't he just read the Torah in a mono-tone voice? That's all I wanted. No music needed. No acting needed.What Were They Thinking?
