This expansive work combines history, halacha, hashkafa, and Ta'amei HaMitzvos into one magnificent pattern that stretches brilliantly across all of Chamisha Chumshai Torah.

A wonderful teacher and a very nice edition.
Reading in The Hirsch Chumash is a thrilling experience. Rav S.R. Hirsch must have been a wonderful teacher, a real "magister maximus". The formulation of his comments on the Torah puts the reader in front of a great man who was not only a pious Jew but also a German professor who had an impressive command of didactical knowledge. If you happen to be like me, a person who is fascinated by the Torah but with some shortages in his knowledge of Hebrew, then this is THE Chumash to buy. For Rav Hirsch gives you an explanation which frequently delves in the field of the Holy Language. Try to have a good etymological Hebrew dictionary at your disposition, this helps a lot. The printing is a real pleasure. The font is very readable in the Hebrew as well as in the English text, even if your eyesight happens to be a bit deficient. The five volumes have a beautiful binding too.

Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch Bereishis
I spent from April 2009 until Dec 2009 working on Bereishis. Every nuance, every Hebrew letter was beyond, beyond anything I had hoped to learn from any book.
I have spent 7 years in Rashi, Ramban, Ramchal, R' Bachya and many more brilliant teachers of Torah. These books flank my desk and I'm always referring to them. I have now added Rav Hirsch's to the reference beauty that surrounds me.
Besides the amazing Torah Rav Hirsch gives over it took my sefer reading skills from so so to finally, big, noticeable progress
