"Do we really need yet another edition and translation of the Torah? In this case, Yes. Rabbi Chaim Miller has blessed us with a profound gift, penetrating the surface layer of the Bible and revealing multiple layers of meaning, which range from personal to midrashic to mystical. Dip into this treasure trove, and your understanding of Torah will never be the same."
Professor Daniel Matt, Translator of the Zohar (Pritzker Edition)
"The translation and the eclectic and multi-faceted commentary will resonate with both those seeking to deepen their commitment and the many who are in the process of first discovering their spiritual heritage. The Kabbalah bites which adorn the commentary add an entire new dimension to this composition. It is truly a wonderful work for the contemporary generation."
Rabbi Aaron Rakeffet, Professor of Rabbinic Literature Yeshiva University in Israel Caroline and Joseph S. Gruss Institute Jerusalem
"The text is smooth, challenging, comprehensive and even addictive. The bar has been raised."

To an eminently readable translation he adds carefully selected commentary from an impressive cross-section of traditional writers as well as intriguing questions and ideas that further draw the reader in. This Chumash is user-friendly in the truest sense: it is designed to engage mind, heart and soul in an accessible encounter with the Divine. As a result, the Lifestyle Chumash is poised to be a worthy resource for contemporary Jews on a path of personal growth and renewal."

"I'm thrilled to recommend the LIFESTYLE CHUMASH. It provides a very deep and innovative approach to Chumash. The FOOR FOR THOUGHT section provides stimulating questions which are perfect for the Shabbos table and the SPIRITUAL VITAMINS and KABBALAH BITES make Torah come alive. It's been a long time since I've felt so challenged and excited about reading Chumash. You did a GREAT JOB!"
