Lorena and I have been reading a chapter of the Reina Valera (1909) Spanish version of the Bible aloud with Grandma Conchita via audio chat for the last few months. Our plan, God willing, is to work our way through the New Testament, then go back and read through the Old Testament. It will take several years to do that at our current pace, but we are enjoying it a lot. In that same spirit, I have decided, for my next read through the Old Testament, I want to read through a Hebrew Bible (English) commonly used by Jewish congregation. So, yesterday, I ordered a Hebrew-English Tanakh translated by The Jewish Publication Society (JPS). I do not think I will be able to get to it until toward the end of 2024, again God willing, because of my current reading trajectory, but I am very much looking forward to it.
