You know and use the Stone Edition, which has become the standard English-language Chumash. But what about the rest of the Written Torah, the Prophets and the Writings? Where can we go for a sweeping understanding of the text, as understood by the Sages and the classic commentators ? presented in a way that makes it both accessible and enjoyable to scholar and layman alike?
The first volume of the Rubin Edition ? Joshua/Judges ?provided the answer.
