Tiptoe Translating Station

One of the most remarkable things about the Torah is that there are no vowels or punctuation in the Hebrew. This means when it is translated, it is amazingly the same and yet strikingly different.  For example, a lot of things change when you insert a vowel. For example, with a "b"and a "d", a word can go from bed to bad to bid to bade or to bode. Take the sentence ‘Right now.’ or ‘Right now?’.  As you can see, this poses many problems.  Nonetheless, many brilliant dedicated people have translated the
Torah.  Translation station is to help you think about the language of Torah and how small choices can make big differences.  Which translation resonates best for you in your mind, heart and soul?

    The Golden Medina

    by Edwin Jerome Reuben & Nancy Reuben Greenfield

    When I was thirteen my father said he was going to write a book and I became his editor.
    I loved the book immediately because it had engaging characters, a lot of action, and some interesting philosophical and spiritual twists. 

    But I was an editor and there was plenty of work to do, especially after my father died.  In so many ways it The Golden Medina is a true blend of our interests and talents.

    The Golden Medina is an adolescent journey and coming of age story like none you have read.  Blending early Jewish and Italian immigrant cultures, this is truly a family saga with a twist.

    Whether you like a fast moving plot and unpredicatable characters or intelligent dialogue, this debut fiction is a rare find.
