Koren

Over half a century ago, master typographer Eliyahu Koren produced the Koren Tanakh, the first Jewish Bible edited, designed, produced and bound by Jews in nearly 500 years. Mr. Koren considered the precision of every letter, the placement of every word on every page. He created a new font to ensure maximum clarity and to reflect the renewal of ancient Hebrew in modern times. The Tanakh's textual accuracy, pioneering design and superior quality won it worldwide acclaim. Under Mr. Koren's leadership, Koren Publishers Jerusalem went on to produce other exceptional editions of traditional Jewish texts. The Koren Siddur, published in 1981, featured a newly designed font and an insightful graphic layout that, in Mr. Koren's words, "encouraged the worshiper to engross the mind and heart in prayer." Like so many Koren titles, it became a classic.

Today, Koren Publishers Jerusalem proudly carries on Mr. Koren's legacy. It maintains an unrelenting commitment to intellectual rigor, textual purity and thoughtful design. From halakhic research to literary scholarship, typographic design to final production, Koren Publishers Jerusalem upholds the highest possible standard. Koren brings people to the heart of the Hebrew sources as it makes those sources meaningful to an ever-expanding audience. It respects the rich body of Jewish thought as it offers wisdom from today's leading Jewish thinkers.

Koren Publishers have produced scores of canonical and core Jewish texts in Hebrew, English, German, Spanish, Amharic, and more in order to allow people all over the world to practice their Judaism with the most functional and aesthetically striking tools.

The jewels in the crown of Koren Publishers, beyond Eliyahu Koren's world-famous Tanakh and Siddur, include the Koren Shalem Siddur and Mahzor sets featuring translation and commentary by Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks zt"l, the groundbreaking Noé Edition Koren Talmud Bavli featuring an all-new translation of the entire Talmud with the unparalleled commentary and notations by Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz zt"l, The Koren Land of Israel Tanakh and the Koren Mikraot HaDorot Series as well as the new Koren Tanakh Graphic Novel Series launched in 2023 with the book of Esther edited by Jordan B.
