After the first thousand books distributed to communities before Shavuot last year, and the second thousand, which reached communities from Odesa to Uzhhorod, the time has come for the third thousand books, which were gifted to Jewish communities across Ukraine. <\/p><p>This time, the books \u2013 Siddurim, Tehillim, Machzorim for Yom Kippur, and Chumashim \u2013 were received by communities in twelve cities of Ukraine: Lviv (Rabbi Mordechai Shlomo Bold) \u2013 20 copies; Kamianets-Podilskyi \u2013 40; Kryvyi Rih (Rabbi Liron Ederi) \u2013 60 copies; Hadyach (Rabbi Yosef Segal) \u2013 90; Cherkasy (Rabbi DovBer Axelrod) \u2013 90; Ternopil \u2013 30; Vinnytsia (Rabbi Shaul Horowitz) \u2013 90; Kherson (Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Wolf) \u2013 90; Ivano-Frankivsk (Rabbi Moshe Leib Kolesnik) \u2013 120; Chernivtsi (Rabbi Menachem Mendel Glitzenstein) \u2013 120 copies. Additionally, the communities of Mykolaiv (Rabbi Sholom Gottlieb) and Zaporizhzhia (Rabbi Nochum Erentroy) received 50 Machzorim for Yom Kippur each. <\/p><p>The geography of the program expands with each stage, covering more and more communities throughout Ukraine. Rabbis and congregants do not hide their joy: &#8220;Thank you very much, the Siddurim are wonderful, and we study regularly from the Chumashim,&#8221; wrote a congregant of the Kryvyi Rih synagogue, Reb Levi. <\/p><p>Among the books distributed, the new Chumash deserves special attention. It is a complete edition of the Five Books of Moses with Haftaros in a single volume, prepared by Chabad House Publications. The book has a blue hardcover and is a bilingual edition \u2013 the text is in Hebrew with a translation that incorporates explanatory additions. Directly into the text of the Torah, italicized explanatory words are inserted to help understand the simple meaning (pshat) without needing to consult a separate commentary. The translation makes extensive use of the classic commentary of Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, 1040\u20131105 CE) \u2013 one of the most authoritative sources on the pshat of the biblical text. Rashi&#8217;s commentary is presented in full in Hebrew, and its explanations are incorporated directly into the translation. The edition is supplemented with selected passages from the teachings of the Seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe \u2013 Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson \u2013 as starting in 1964, the Rebbe regularly devoted part of his talks to analyzing Rashi&#8217;s commentary on the weekly portion. These materials are included in the footnotes at the bottom of the pages. The edition also includes the Aramaic translation of Onkelos \u2013 the normative translation from the Talmudic era, to which Rashi frequently refers in his commentary.      <\/p><p>Alongside the commentaries, a chronological order of the events of the Torah is indicated \u2013 this makes the text more illustrative and helps perceive the described events as historical realities. The edition contains over 60 illustrations, dozens of historical maps (the journeys of Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov, Yosef, the Exodus from Egypt, the territories of the tribes, etc.), genealogical tables (the ten generations from Adam to Noach, the family of Avraham, and others), as well as special tables \u2013 the Jewish calendar, signs of cantillation, the system of measurements, orthographic exceptions in the Torah, and much more. <\/p><p>Tables of holiday readings are provided separately \u2013 for both the diaspora and the Land of Israel \u2013 indicating the Torah portion, Maftir, and Haftarah for each holiday and special Shabbos. At the end of the book, the Haftaros are arranged according to the customs of Ashkenazi, Sephardic, and Chabad Chassidic communities, with an expanded translation and a brief preface to each. <\/p><p>The book is read from right to left, as a Hebrew publication. The translation begins on the left page, each verse starting on a new line. Thematic headings in the margins help orient the reader within the text.  <\/p><p>This is an expensive and substantial edition, which becomes a true treasure for both a personal library and any community.
