The Etz Hayim Translation
The Conservative movement published the Etz Hayim translation of the Torah in 2002. With its introduction by the Chancellor of JTS, Ismar Schorsch, the Etz Hayim became the accepted synagogue Chumash of the Conservative movement. This lecture will explore the unique aspects of this translation and compare it wit the Orthodox Artscroll translation. Is this Etz Hayim translation really revolutionary or controversial within the traditional community?
