Description:
The Me'am Lo'ez is a classic Judaic work written in the language that the Jews of Spain brought with them to the Ottoman Empire in 1492. Written in Ladino, the book is essentially an encyclopedic commentary on the Torah, written in an easy style for the common person. Technically, the Me'am Lo'ez, as we know it today, is a 46-volume commentary on the entire TANAKH.

It was developed via the brilliancy of Haham Yakoub Huli of Constantinople. Born in 1689 CE, Huli immigrated to the Holy Land via Crete, settled in Jerusalem, and lived his remaining days in Safed. He would become a principal leader of world Jewry by his fourth decade of life.

In 1967, Moznaim (Vagshal) put out a Hebrew translation, Yalkut Me'am Lo'ez, and it proved to be one of the most popular Hebrew books ever published. Close to a quarter million have already been sold.
