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 two volumes of the Rubin Edition of the Prophets - Joshua/Judges and Samuel I and II -provided the answer.
Thanks to the brilliance of the ArtScroll/Mesorah team of scholars and writers - led by Rabbi Nosson Scherman - the tradition continues, with The Rubin Edition of I Kings and II Kings in one volume.
