Mordochai, why are you making such a big issue of this?

Because I despise the unnecessary use of the pagan Greek language to supplant the שָׂפָה בְרוּרָה.

Perhaps the Rabbi means that συναγωγή is not English. Synagogue (in English) may be pronounced the same as συναγωγή but it isn't English.

Just guessing, but is seems logical enough.

This is a mostly English language forum.

I have to disagree, Sophie; "synagogue" is a horrible Greek word − beit k'neset means a "meeting" or "assembly house" (primarily for prayers).

I feel that it would be appropriate to mention here that a Hebrew Bible must be treated with the proper respect: it should not be kept in a bedroom or taken into a bathroom or W.C.; it should not be put on the floor or placed face-down when open or upside down when closed; and should be treated at all times with the reverence due to a book in which the Sacred Name is printed thousands of times. And even when it is old and worn-out, it shouldn't...

I also like the Artscroll Stone Edition. The Chumash is superior to the T'nach. (A Chumash is the Torah and the Haftorah). The Artscroll has 1/3 of a page for the translation (left page), the Hebrew (right page) and 2/3rds of the two pages dedicated to commentary. I love the commentary!

The T'nach is good but because the volume is large with just the Hebrew and then the English translation the footnotes are pretty small (may 1/6th of the bottom of a page). It is better if...

Such offers of "free shipping" usually only apply to the continental USA and I believe that "jji" is located in the Philippines!

Rabbi,
If sin can be atoned without animal sacrifice, why would anyone go back to sacrificing animals?
