JPS & JBI PROUDLY ANNOUNCE GROUNDBREAKING RECORDING OF THE COMPLETE JEWISH BIBLE JBI narrators included stage and TV actors, radio personalities, teachers, and voiceover talents. Special guest readers such as actor and singer Theodore Bikel, TV and Broadway actress Tovah Feldshuh, and best-selling authors Bruce Feiler and Rabbi Harold Kushner also contributed their talents.<\/p>\n \u201cFor many years JPS had been hoping to produce an audio version of its Bible. The 1917 JPS translation is in audio, but not the 1985 translation, which is the version everyone reads today,\u201d says JPS COO and publishing director Carol Hupping.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were delighted when JBI agreed to record for us. It was the only organization we considered working with because of its new, state-of-the-art studios, and, more importantly, because of the expert care its staff would give to every aspect of production: the right mix of voices, timing, sound, and pronunciation of all those Hebrew names! Like so many important projects, the work was more involved than anyone anticipated. But it was worth it; the JPS TANAKH audio Bible is sure to become a classic.\u201d<\/p>\n Beginning with the new cycle on the holiday of Simchat Torah, October 10th, JPS will feature free podcasts of the weekly Torah readings all year long on its website: http:\/\/www.jewishpub.org\/books\/audiobible\/<\/a>. In addition, the entire audio Bible will be available soon for purchase through the JPS website, Audible and iTunes, and through many public libraries\u2019 online access programs.<\/p>\n
