The Me’am Lo’ez is a classic Judaic work
written in the language that the Jews of
Spain brought with them to the Ottoman
Empire in 1492. Written in Ladino, the
book is essentially an encyclopedic
commentary on the Torah, written in an
easy style for the common person.
Technically, the Me'am Lo'ez, as we know
it today, is a 46-volume commentary on the
entire TANAKH. It was developed via the
brilliancy of Haham Yakoub Huli of
Constantinople. Born in 1689 CE, Huli
immigrated to the Holy Land via Crete,
settled in Jerusalem, and lived his remaining days in Safed. He would become a
principal leader of world Jewry by his
fourth decade of life... - all books are hardcover unless

The Torah Anthology is
a clear, modern translation of Me'am Lo'ez, hailed as "the outstanding work
of Ladino literature." Written by Rabbi Yaakov Culi, one of the greatest
Sephardic sages of his times, the book was first published in 1730. It
changed the spiritual climate of the entire Mediterranean region.
Eastern Jews esteemed Me'am
Lo'ez as a major classic, affording it the same status as the Talmud and
Mishnah. Reading it each day was a religious duty; it was a highly popular
text for synagogue classes held each evening
Many
count Me'am Lo'ez among the best commentaries ever written on the Torah - in
any language. The book is a veritable encyclopedia of Jewish knowledge.
In 1967, Moznaim
(Vagshal) put out a Hebrew translation, Yalkut Me'am Lo'ez, and it proved
to be one of the most popular Hebrew books ever published. Close to a
quarter million have already been sold.
