JPS and JBI Proudly Announce Release of JPS Tanakh: The Jewish Bible, audio version! For the first time ever, the new JPS translation of the Jewish Bible, the JPS Tanakh, is available in audio format. Produced and recorded for The Jewish Publication Society (JPS) by JBI International (est. as the Jewish Braille Institute) in JBI's New York City studios over the course of 12 months, this groundbreaking project known asJPS Tanakh: The Jewish Bible, audio version features 60 hours of readings by 13 narrators. 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. Featuring the classic JPS 1985 translation, the recordings were made in JBI's new, state-of-the-art studios, with expert care given by its staff to every aspect of production. Having begun with the new cycle on the holiday of Simchat Torah, JPS is featuring free podcasts of the weekly Torah readings all year long on its website: http://www.jewishpub.org/books/audiobible/. In addition, the entire audio Bible will be available soon for purchase through the JPS website at www.jewishpub.org, Audible and iTunes, and through many public libraries' online access programs. JBI, the world's largest library of talking books of Jewish interest for the visually impaired, blind, and reading-disabled of all ages and backgrounds, will offer the entire recording free to the visually impaired and blind. More information on the JBI Library is available at www.jbilibrary.org.
