The Jewish publication Society Translations
In 1917, JPS completed a translation of the entire Bible. This translation became the standard English translation for the American Jewish community for the next 50 years. In 1962, JPS completed a revised translation of the Torah. This translation was a more scholarly and "Jewish" translation. This lecture will explore the history of these translations and the importance of the translations in the history of American Jewish culture.
