Onkelos on the Torah: Understanding the Bible Text Deuteronomy (English and Aramaic Edition) Hardcover – February 1, 2012

Below is my review concerning Onkelos on Torah and Understanding Onkelos from Rabbis Dr's. Israel Drazin and Stanley Wagner. I purchased Understanding Onkelos because of my studies with Rabbi Dr.Israel Drazin's and Rabbi Dr.Stanley Wagner's other exegesis, Onkelos on Torah. My Torah studies have centred on the latter for two years having recently acquired Devarim, the final book in the series. I cannot emphasis the importance of all of these books in understanding the nature of the universe and mans walk and purpose within it. They are a must for all Torah scholars and indeed would suggest for any academic curriculum.Understanding Onkelos continues to reveal the truth from every educational aspect. It covers Bible history, Biblical Hebrew and the true meaning of Onkelos and why his writings are so important; illustrating and comparing many religions, even sages who have added to or taken away from the truth. The emphasis is on the literal translation of the Hebrew text. Onkelos uses words and phraseology to make clearer the more misunderstood and difficult passages. The need for MIDRASH and indeed exactly what MIDRASH is, in keeping centred on the written Torah, this book goes through each Torah portion offering the discipline of Onkelos in keeping to understanding what is writtenRationale, is most certainly required in understanding nature and its creation by a Holy G-d HaShem. The Torah of Moshe, and to it, the proximity of Onkelos, Maimonides, the great sages of this world and to the present day sages such as Rabbi Dr.Drazin & Rabbi Dr.Stanley Wagner is only to clear and enlightening to behold. I am completely in awe at these mammoth literary undertakingsThe book is well bound also. The pages are very silky smooth and encouraging to hold and work with.Whoever you are and where ever you are, if you decide to enter into one of the classic Torah scholarships, or simply discover the truth then these books are a must and a blessing from aboveShalom Aleichem.......

A great addition to Judaica. A great translation of an important work.

excellent companion to the parshas
