"If I could have only one translation on a desert island, it would be this one."
TORAH FOR DUMMIES, ARTHUR KURZWEIL

"To my mind, there is no other published work that begins to rival this volume."
RABBI NORMAN LAMM, CHANCELLOR, YESHIVAH UNIVERSITY

"A monumental contribution to the understanding of Torah."
KAREN BACON, DEAN, STERN COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, YESHIVAH UNIVERSITY

"A gift to people of faith... I have read many of the newer Bible translations, and this one is by far the one with the most clarity... If one lived as long as Noah, with only this book to read, it would satisfy."
AMAZON.COM, TOP 50 REVIEWER

"Beautifully produced and lovingly edited, this work is an invaluable addition to the library of Jewish scholarship and one which reminds us, yet again, of the towering stature of the Lubavitcher Rebbe as a teacher and exponent of Torah."
PROFESSOR JONATHAN SACKS, CHIEF RABBI OF THE UNITED HEBREW CONGREGATIONS OF THE COMMONWEALTH

"Rabbi Miller has gathered the teachings of the Rebbe on Chumash... there was nobody in his generation who merited to spread Torah, to expand it and strengthen it, like him... I offer you encouragement in your work."
RABBI ISRAEL MEIR LAU, FORMER CHIEF RABBI OF ISRAEL

"As you open the Chumash you immediately appreciate the time and effort that was put into making the Chumash highly readable and easy to understand... anyone can appreciate this Sefer by his careful selection of words to translate and explain difficult themes... The layout of this Chumash makes it perfect for synagogue use."
SHIMON GOLDING, THE JEWISH PRESS

"Original, authentic, fascinating & enlightening."
RABBI PINCHAS STOLPER, LAKEWOOD NJ, FORMER EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE ORTHODOX UNION

"The structure of the work, its layout, conciseness and style are superb!"
RABBI YOSEF Y. JACOBSON, NOTED LECTURE

TZVI FREEMAN, AUTHOR OF 365 MEDITATIONS AND BRINGING HEAVEN DOWN TO EARTH

"The text is both meaty and readable, and can appeal to people at many different levels of prior knowledge and reading ability... The text is crystal clear."
URI KAPLOUN, AUTHOR AND TRANSLATOR OF MANY CLASSIC TEXTS, INCLUDING LIKKUTEI DIBBURIM, AND THE ALTER REBBE'S SHULCHAN ARUCH

"The presentation of the Sichos in such an amazingly clear manner is an unbelievable art. This is long overdue! Even those who know the Sichos from the original can now look at the synopsis and have a clear picture..."
RABBI SHLOMA MAJESKY, DEAN OF MACHON CHANA SEMINARY. LECTURER AND AUTHOR ON CHASSIDIC THOUGHT

"Rabbi Miller did not use the work as a medium to portray his vast knowledge of the English language, and burden the reader with terminology that is often unfamiliar to the reader. The entire text is written in a way that makes it pleasant to read and easy to comprehend...Rabbi Miller successfully managed to present the English reading community a glimpse of some of the Rebbe's greatness."
RABBI MOSHE BOGOMILSKY, RABBI OF CONGREGATION YESHIVA OF CROWN HEIGHTS, AUTHOR OF VEDIBARTA BAM

"This magnificently produced volume is indeed a major work and a notable contribution to authentic Judaica in English in general, and to "yefutzu mayonosecha chutza" in particular."
RABBI NISSEN MANGEL, AUTHOR OF VARIOUS WORKS. ASSISTED WITH PUBLICATION OF THE ALTER REBBE'S SHULCHAN ARUCH, TANYA AND SIDDUR

"The unique advantage of this Chumash is that the editor did not limit himself to short sayings and aphorisms, but he gives the reader the main part of the sicha, in clear and succinct language."
RABBI YEHUDA LEIB ALTEIN, DIRECTOR OF HEICHAL MENACHEM, BORO PARK. MEMBER OF EDITORIAL BOARD OF VA'AD LEHAFOTZAS SICHOS

RABBI AVRAHAM DOV AUERBACH, AV BEIS DIN, TIBERIUS

"I want to give you a tremendous 'Yasher Koach' for the magnificent service you have performed for Klal Yisroel and for Lubavitch... The substance is magnificent as is the appearance and 'feel' of the Chumash."
RABBI MOSHE FELLER, DIRECTOR OF UPPER MIDWEST MERKOS

"It is printed in a very beautiful manner, very presentable and an honor for the Rebbe and Lubavitch."
RABBI YITZCHAK GRONER, THE YESHIVAH CENTER, AUSTRALIA

RABBI AVRAHAM OSDOBA, BEIS DIN OF CROWN HEIGHTS

"...A beautiful and enduring binding, the clear and illuminating print, and the fine paper... It offers a succinct synopsis of selected passages from the prolific treasure of the Rebbe's profound and wide-ranging insights on the Chumash. The original versions go into great details... The editor, however, managed to make them very readable and accessible..."
RABBI J. IMMANUEL SCHOCHET, NOTED AUTHOR AND LECTURER

"With the release of this Chumash... new windows were opened up to the public, into the Rebbe's interpretations of the Torah... The accomplishment is great and the zechus is overwhelming..."
RABBI YEHUDA LEIB SCHAPIRO, ROSH YESHIVA, GREATER MIAMI

"A brilliant piece of work... an English language Chumash suitable for everyday and synagogue use. The execution is ingenious, the language lucid and highly readable, the concepts well-explained."
RABBI YANKI TAUBER, EDITOR CHABAD.ORG

"The handsome Chumash is ideal for those tasting of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's Sichos for the first time, looking for the right word in translation, and as a rich resource for Torah speaking opportunities... outstanding value."
RABBI GERSHON TANNENBAUM, MENAHEL OF IGGUD HARABBONIM OF THE UNITED STATES

"At last! A lucid presentation of the gems of the Rebbe's Torah Scholarship. Rabbi Miller has succeeded beyond expectation in a difficult task... This should become a standard text for all Lubavitcher High schools."

"It contains a phenomenal, organized anthology... something suitable for every reader."
RABBI AVRAHAM ZVI WOSNER, RAV AT MACHON L'TORAH U'LHORA'AH, VA'AD HARABBONIM OF VA'AD MISHMERES STAM

"...It contains explanations adapted with expertise by Talmidei Chachomim...a beautiful work."
RABBI GAVRIEL ZINNER, AUTHOR OF SIFREI NITEI GAVRIEL

"I must say that your Chumash is one of the top ten English publications of the past decade. I have five shiurim a week with Balei Batim in your Chumash."
RABBI YITZCHOK WOLF, DEAN LUBAVITCH HEBREW DAY SCHOOL, CHICAGO

"Words alone do not suffice for the appreciation and gratitude I have for you for the masterful piece of work you put together in publishing Chumash Shemos with the Rebbe's commentary. I have given the Chumash to over 100 of our Balei Batim and the response has been overwhelming. I urge all Shluchim to consider doing the same with their Balei Batim. They will treasure the gift, and more importantly, they will study the Rebbe's teachings thus further strengthening their bond with the Rebbe."
RABBI MOSHE D. BRYSKI, CHABAD OF CONEJO, CA

"The seforim are in use and being very much enjoyed - particularly by a team of scholars who have just translated Shemos into Polish and were deeply pleased with the English translation and notes of the Kol Menachem."
YOSSEL KANOFSKY, DIRECTOR RONALD S. LAUDER FOUNDATION, POLAND

We have many different versions of the Chumash (5 Books of Moses or Torah) at our house. They are all gathering dust since we purchased the Gutnick Edition! This Chumash is FANTASTIC and explicates all of the complex and confusing parts of the Torah for the average layperson as well as for the experienced Torah scholar. It clearly does not push one sect of Judaism over any other. (Frankly, I found the negative comment about this book promoting Jewish "cults" from a previous reviewer to be absurd.) The Hebrew-English translation is excellent and the commentaries from the greatest Torah scholars of the ages are extremely helpful in interpreting the text. No serious Torah student should be without this extremely useful guide!
YAEL TZIVIA, AMAZON.COM REVIEWER

"Over the years I have used a variety of Chumashim � including the Hertz Pentateuch, the Stone Edition, the Living Torah � but I have to admit that this is the first time that I have been really excited by a Chumash."
H. ABRAMSON, ARIZONA

"I just purchased and have started reading your new work. It is an excellent addition to any English Jewish Library, and offers the valuable opportunity to study Chumash and the teachings of the Rebbe simultaneously, even when time is limited."
DAVID COTLAR M.D., HOUSTON, TEXAS

"I purchased the Shemos volume from Eichlers and find it is everything I have been waiting for in a Chumash."
RICK BLUM PH.D., LICENSED PSYCHOLOGIST, CONNECTICUT

"I am a college student at the University of Maryland. Just wanted to let everyone who has worked on this Chumash know that I have never been more impressed, and that everyone who sees me with it is hooked after reading only a few pages."
AARON, MARYLAND

Provides the weekly readings in clear style... Although not an academic book, the academic reader concerned with the reception of biblical text will find in it many things of interest.
REVIEW OF BIBLICAL LITERATURE

The well-researched and splendidly presented edition hits on many marks .... Above all, the text is very readable...The translation proves to be very useful, easy, and illuminating. Still, the real treat here is the second fresh aspect of this edition: the commentary by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson....For those who enjoy a touch of mysticism, and certainly for those whose whole essence includes it, there is no one better to deliver it than the Rebbe, a veritable heavyweight and thoughtful Jewish philosopher.
