Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman, the 13th century Jewish leader and scholar known as Ramban, earned himself a place alongside Rashi as one of Judaism's primary Torah commentators. His commentary, which encompasses a vast panorama of Jewish learning, language, halachah, aggadah, philosophy, Kabbalah, and history offers a penetrating analysis of the Torah that will both enlighten and inspire. Rabbi Chavel's elegant English translation is based on the original Hebrew manuscripts. Insightful notes offer clarification of Ramban's commentary and provide his sources. An essential guide to the Torah that should grace the bookshelves of every Jewish home! English only. Review: Highly recommended - This is the classic translation of Ramban into English, leaving nothing out and with a bit of commentary at the bottom which I have found crucial in understanding some of Ramban’s references. There are options for a translation of Ramban and I am very glad I chose this one. I would make the same choice again. Review: RAMBAN Commentary - The contents (entirely in English!) contains the unabridged commentaries of RAMBAN (Nachmanides). Many times, he presents Rashi's or Ibn Ezra's comments, then explains why he disagrees and presents his arguement. It is interesting to contrast the opinions. Kinda like having three books in one. The format has a line from the Bible followed by the commentaries, so it would be helpful to have a copy of the Bible next to you when reading RAMBAN to see the context. This is just fine since the books are big enough as is.

Incredible masterpiece
This work is extremely comprehensive and in fact doesn't even contain the actual Torah, just the commentary (most commentaries have the Torah scripture at the top and corresponding comments on the bottom). The Ramban adds deep insights into the Torah, especially the mystical dimension. He also routinely disputes much of Rashi's comments, hence this work provides a different perspective on many issues. I would definitely consider this a great tool for Torah learning.

Great reference
I am always looking thru Ramban at shul when I need a quick D'Var Torah, and it is great to have this essential resource at home as well.

Not a full set.
I ordered a full set but was missing the Deuteronomy book and have an extra Leviticus. I had to reorder just one book but was able to get it. It is hardbound so is not like what I originally wanted but at least I was able to find my missing book.

A beautiful presentation
The Ramban is always interesting and different. The edition is beautiful. I highly recommend it to everyone interested in Torah commentary.

No Slip case
Would have given it higher BUT it doesn't come with a slip case - which is really necessary with a paperback set. It apparently doesn't come in hard cover any more - I would have spent the funds to get a set of hardcovers.
