I am looking for a good translation of the Tanakh into English.
I really want a translation from Jewish perspective.
Does anyone have any experience with this version:

Yeah, that is the standard modern translation for the English-speaking Jewish community. I recommend shelling out the few extra dollars for this, though- same translation but with study notes from a variety of Jewish perspectives…

As mentioned in other SDMB Bible discussions, I’m a big fan of Everett Fox’s THE FIVE BOOKS OF MOSES, and I’m eagerly awaiting his PROPHETS and WRITINGS.
