But since 90% of today's Jews don't read Hebrew, an authentic and authoritative translation of the Jewish Scriptures is vital. The ArtScroll English Tanach may not be for you, but it is surely needed by people you know who may be far removed from Torah, mitzvos, avodas Hashem, and yiras shamayim. You may also find the ArtScroll English Tanach helpful to learning more unfamiliar portions of the Jewish Scripture, such as Navi. Join the Mesorah Heritage Foundation's "People of the Book Initiative" and help spread the light of Yiddishkeit through giving a copy of this Tanach to a Jewish family, student, colleague, or military serviceperson.
