Adam and Havah: a Targum of Genesis 1:26-5:5
Shira Halevi
A NEW 2009 REVISED EDITION "Gorgeous commentary," according to Kirkus Discoveries in its review of Rabbi Halevi's work. "Halevi shines new light on a very old story, offering a brilliant interpretation of perhaps the most influential piece of scripture ever written... Her new tome is a targum -- basically a hybrid of translation and commentary -- of the opening chapters of Genesis. . . Halevi fills her elaborately footnoted expansion on the story of Adam and Eve (or Havah) with alternate translations, interpretive traditions, linguistic clarifications and explanatory dialogues. . . The author has an easy familiarity with modern biblical scholarship and willingness to parse stale orthodoxies. Her discussions of gender and theodicy are particularly piercing. 'Adam and Havah' offers a myriad of joys."
