Talmud

* The Schottenstein Editions of the Babylonian (“Bavli”) Talmud — 73 volumes in the English Edition and 73 in the Hebrew Edition.

Dedication opportunities are still available in these historic, unprecedented editions.

Zichron Meir English Edition of Targum Onkelos
Targum Onkelos, “the Translation of Onkelos,” is the definitive Aramaic translation and interpretation of the Torah. Rashi is replete with references to Onkelos. Targum Onkelos is so fundamental that the Sages instituted that one should read the Torah parashah twice and Targum Onkelos once every week (Berachos 8a).

This edition is dedicated in memory of Rabbi Meir Zlotowitz ז“ל . It is dedicated by an anonymous admirer of his and a generous supporter of our work. The dedicators of each individual volume are Yaakov and Beatrice Herzog and their family, of Toronto. The Herzogs are dedicators of several Foundation volumes. We are gratified that such a distinguished family has chosen to be ardent supporters of our work.

This ground-breaking elucidation translates Onkelos and explains places where Onkelos appears to add his own phrase and where he deviates from the simple meaning of the verse. We place words of Targum directly under the Hebrew of the Chumash text to help the reader master Aramaic.

This magnificent project is now complete.

Dedicated by Yaakov and Beatrice Herzog and their family.

Shaar Habitachon of Chovos HaLevavos

This very important volume is dedicated by the Jaffa Family, following their dedication of the essential Mussar classics Mesillas Yesharim and Shaarei  Teshuvah.
