The Torah with the Ba'al Haturim classic commentary translated, annotated, and elucidated

Where do you find the Torah's hidden messages? The Ba'al HaTurim Rabbi Yaakov ben Asher (1270-1340) found them in gematria (number patterns), acrostics, formations of letters, Scriptural word patterns, and a novel approach to understanding a verse. 700 years ago, in an era of greatness, he was a Torah giant. His Arba'ah Turim is the basis of our Shulchan Aruch. But Ba'al HaTurim, his brief Torah commentary, was written so tersely that even great scholars labor over it. What a loss! Now - finally! - this masterpiece is explained, annotated, and broadened. After seven centuries this treasure is accessible to scholar and layman alike. Thanks to Rabbi Avie Gold, the Ba'al HaTurim comes to us in all its grandeur, with its clear window into the mysteries of Hashem's word. This new masterpiece has no equal in any language. It is simply dazzling!

It includes the Chumash text and Haftaros in Hebrew and the English translation. And the original Ba'al Haturim text in Hebrew, fully vowelized.
