Times Have changed

On the 26^th of Sivan 5673 (1913) R. Chaim Hirshensohn z”l

proposed at the Agudas Harabanim Asifa, to oppose

any translation of the Tanach into English, regardless how

authentic  and correct the translation was.

Only by the Goyim do you have a King James version for the

English and a  Luther for the Germans etc. For Yidden it is

against Ruach Yisroel (Jewish spirit).

The only translation we may have are the Targum and the

Meforshei Hatenach based on the Talmud.

The Agudas Harabanim accepted his proposal to oppose

any English translation of Tanach.
